Well the best treatment that worked great for me was soak the snake in water and a little bit of mineral oil. Get some Listerine *brown* and mix with 50/50 water, spray the cage and wipe out with a towel, the listerine will clean, disinfect and kill any mites in the cage. Then I recommend either equate bedding spray or pam *provent a mite* and spray around you cages *especially if your reptile room or where your snake cage is has carpet*. Last time I had mites which was almost 2 years ago *last time I ever bought a snake from a petstore in my area*. I also used reptile relief as well, which worked great on killing the mites but the equate I used made sure I never had tehm again. Bleach method works but I hate the fact that you have to rinse the cage because of the fumes even when it is mixed with water... Try the listerine method for cleaning your cages *you will be surprised on how your cages smell and how easy it is to just spray and wipe off*.. Big thanks to Bebo and Juggalo *who told me about the listerine as a cage cleaner*.
