Follow directions, and no more mites. Also soak him in bath tub while spraying the cage is also a good idea. Good luck.

Back when I was into retics I had some import bali yellow heads come in. I had a mite outbreak so bad I woke up in bed with 3 of them crawling on me!!! They were EVERYWHERE! Ben Siegels told me to use NIX. It's used for human lice. You can find it at walmart. Mix it with 1 gallon of water and put it in a spray bottle. I'd reccomend soaking the animal first so that it dosn't just straight drink the mixture. Then spray the cage, the animal, EVERYTHING (except inside the water bowl). Spray every other day untill it's gone or the mites are gone. Worked like a charm here!

Good luck!

Good news.... All mites are dead and im gonna spray every three days for the next 2 weeks to kill of the eggs. I'm very satisfied with mite off, the mites die instantly when I spray my snake and the enclousre down. Oh and here is a pic holding 2 of my 4 snakes( I just love my lil burm)
