I had mites for a short while. I bought some equivalent Provent-a-mite from Walmart and also some mite treatment from Petco. I cleaned the cage like normal , then sprayed the provent a mite all over everyting in the cage except the water bowl. Then i sprayed the snake with the petco mite treatment as directed. After a week I couldn't find a mite as hard as I looked. I'm not that experienced, but adding a treatment that you can spray directly on the snake may get rid of the mites more rapidly.

PS. The chemicals in provent a mite and in the stuff I bought at Walmart are the same, but the Walmart spray only costs about 5 bucks. It's in the camping section.

Hope this helps.
