Pred mites

What is the best species of predatory mites to use when treating snake mites. In addition, can anyone tell me a reputable carrier of theses predatory mites and about how much a small order would run for? thanks in advance.

Hypoaspis Miles.

biconet.com

I just ordered a half liter, and it was enough for more than 10 boa enclosures. With shipping I paid roughly $52. I got some last year and they wiped out the small outbreak I had at the time.I have heard mixed results, but they did great for me last time and we shall see this time. I did have a shipping issue but they corrected it very profesionally.
