Go to WalMart, buy a couple cans of their Equate brand bed lice spray. Cheap, but same active ingredients as the expensive mite spray. Remove averything from the cage, spray heavily inside AND outside the cage. Let it dry, put clean substrate (and water bowl) in, then the snake. Remove the substrate (and dead mites) the next day and replace. Repeat in 2 weeks. You can soak the snake if you wish, but the spray will kill the mites anyway. When the snakes sheds, get rd of the old skin quickly. Watch other cages, if you have any. Those little black poppy seeds can crawl 50 feet in an hour!
