I acquired two hatchling boas right before thanksgiving. After a couple days of them being at home i noticed they had mites all over. So, I quarantined them and put them on papertowels. I bought PAM and reptile relief. I have been switching out papertowels and cleaning about every week and half. I keep seeing dead mites pop up on the towels? how long do i need to keep doing this routine? ball park? I thought it was just about a month. Also, i have a free roaming iguana. I read that the mites will only do snakes, but if given the oopertunity will eat anything they can get? sound reasonably true? It would be pretty hard to treat my iggy if she was affected. Any ideas to speed this process or any other insight? Thanks
