I myself use olive oil you can buy at Wal-Mart. I slick them up like you are putting on sun tan lotion. Let them sit in a tub or plastic container for atleast 1 hr. Then wash them down with baby soap. Wash everything in cage along with cage with a water bleach mix while snake is hang'n out in the tub. Make sure everything is dry and bleach smell free before you put everything back together. Do this procedure over in 2 days. That should fix your problem. By using a wash cloth when you wash the snake that should remove the mites from the scales. If not what ever is left will come out when the snake sheds. Hope this helps.
