>Are the nasty, little buggers upwardly mobile?

Yes. Also downward, forward, back, and sideways. They have an instinct to climb, though.

>I've got an infected snake on a shelf in a 20 gallon with cellaphane blocking 80% of the top screen to maintain humidity.

This will stop mites about as well as a chain link fence stops bullets.

>Higher up on the same shelf I've got two 4 foot visions.
I don't think there is any way that they can infect my other
boas. It doesn't appear to have happened yet, BUT....

ROFLMAO! Dreamer. My experience is either kill the mites as soon as the snake arrives or treat the whole room later.

Good luck.
