just cleaning the cage will not get rid of the mites, even if
you get rid of all you can see,there are still eggs that will
hatch and ta-da they are back.
You need to do something to kill off all the mites and eggs.
I have had success with "provent-a-mite" just make sure you
follow the directions exactly! Other products also work, that's
just what I have used in the past.
Good luck!!

Use Provet a mite it's the best. I had mites about 10 yrs ago and since then i never had a problem. follow the directions and use it on all the things the snake is on or in. It's about 20 bucks but it's worth it trust me...

good luck
