According to Dave and Tracy Barker's website,(http://www.vpi.com) mite eggs take up to 4 days to hatch. Keep a close eye on the snakes and cage for at least that long. They tend to lay their eggs high in the cage so be sure to spray the top and sides as well as the bottom. They also recommend soakling the snake in warm lightly soapy water for 8-10 hours. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water and allows the mites to drown easier.
