In the past 10 years I've had snake mites 2x and treated successfully with NIX. This is sold over the counter in Pharmacy stores. Used as a hair lice treatment for children. Comes in 2 oz jar for about $10. One qt. water per ounce or adjust accordingly for one time usage. Only the water dish is removed from cage before a light spritzing is applied in entire cage. Mites disappeared in minutes. Replace water dish in 15 minutes. (Never had a heavy infestation and used with snakes only, since that is all I keep.) Of course the best solution is to isolate new snakes on white paper for 2 weeks to see if the sob's pop up.
