i would stop trying to make thicker/harder scales and focus of getting rid of the mites. the longer they are on the snake the more the snake is stressed out.

quickest way in my opinion is invermectin diluted in water and spray everything...water, snake, hide, tub, floor, walls....everything

you will be gone of mites within a month.

and if you have breeder rats introduce some invermectin to their water supply so that the feeders can get it in their system. when you feed the snakes it will get in the snakes system thus helping to kill any mites that try to suck on the snake.
