not sure how you got them but her is how i get rid of them. first take the snakes and wsoak them in warm water with dish soap. then thouroughly clean the enclosure with bleach water. Then get some provent o mite and spray the enclosure and the substrate. then repeat this every 2 weeks til the mites are gone.



Also i found some bug spray at walmart that has the same active ingredient as proventomite that last as long as proventomite and works the same without harming my snakes. It is made by Sawyers and i found it in the camping section. It has permethrin as the active ingrediant and smells exactly the same as proventomite. I have used it for a while now and never had any problem at all and it works great on mites and it is only 6 bucks compared to 23 bucks for provent o mite



this is all i do and i never see any mites after treating this way
