That is why I was more of thinking along the lines of just seeing if extra beta-keratin changes their scales at all.
As far a treating the mites go, I generally do a powder treatment that is followed by pest strips and a mite killing spray. Usually totally takes them out within 2-3 weeks.
The main thing is that my girlfriend and I have our collection, and we also work in a pet store. Being two of the main reptile specialists in our town, we get all manner of sick snakes, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, the little buggers hitch a ride home.
I have considered keeping a bucket of water mixed with lice killing shampoo outside my house and just throwing my clothes in it every time I come home from work, or just straight into the washer.
Anyways, I do not plan on seeing mites again for a while. few dead ones pop up here and there. So I will just go on with my question of whether there will be a palpable change in the scales from adding beta-keratin
