Anyplace with a lawn and garden shop has 5 or 10% sevin dust.It's a dry white powder.After your snakes sheds sprinkle some sevin dust inside the cage.Give it 20 minutes then take the snake out and put it in a tupperware with some light sevin dust sprinkled in.Make sure you get a nice light film all over.Let him stay there until your finished cleaning the living crap out of your cage.I use to fill my cages up with the hottest water possible with a little bleach thrown in.After you have dried the cage, sprinkle some sevin dust in the bottom and cover it with newpaper.You can keep your waterbowl in there it wont hurt anything.There will be mites that made it out of your cage before the treatment.You would be surprised how far they can travel to lay eggs.These guys will come back to haunt you.So what I do is sprinkle the dust along the top edges and under the cage.It wont make a big mess.I always leave the dust in the bottom,under,top for 2 weeks.This has been failproof for me for over 20 years.I used to use no pest strips with it but I dont want to take a chance with it anymore...Paul
