OK, just my two cents, but I wouldn't put pyrethrins on any of my reptiles...just too risky for me. If you feel like you need to do something while waiting for your supplies to arrive, then I would soak the snake in a container of water with a couple of drops of dishwashing soap for about 30 minutes. The mites have a pocket of air around them that allows them to stay underwater and breathe. Adding soap breaks the surface tension so they can drown.
