I treat all new snakes for mites before I even bring them into the house. A shot of prevent-a-mite or Black knight does the trick. I just treat them in my yard and then take them to the quarantine room. Also, I never keep and re-use shipping boxes...they go straight to the out-door trash.
I had to learn the hard way mites can wipe out a whole collection. It's best to treat any new snake before you put it inside your home.
