By moving the water bowl over the heater (or under the heater if heating cage from above) you'll not only get the snake warmer, which it should be, but you'll also increase the humidity within the cage.



You didn't say whether you had a screen top or not, but, if you do, cover nearly all of it, except for about an inch on both ends, with plastic garbage bag, plexiglass aluminum foil, ot something to help retain humidity.



As for mite treatments, notice how thorough Josh said he was. That's what it takes, along with interrupting the lifecycle. To some what he did was way overboard, but to me, & and obviously Josh, too, it wasn't overboard, it was being effective, meticulous.



Hang in there with your "problem child." Hahahaha!!! Something will come to light as to "why" soon.



Take care!
