Well, these little ones have ticks. I need to know the safest and fastest way to clear this up. I have heard that slathering them (the bps) up with mineral oil will suffocate the little guys and that they will back out. Is this true, is this safe?? Thanks everybody!

I dont know if you can remove them the same way as humans....but either try the burnt match method (burn a match, blow it out and touch the tick with it) and dont slather up the whole snake....put a drop around each tick and work it on the tick and around its body....
