thats not what I would do. I offered to talk to you on the phone but you did not call so the quick steps

1. treat the snake (natural chemistry) make sure it do it the correct way or its no good
2. treat the tub (provent-a-mite) paper towes and no water for atleast 24 hours
3. treat bedding (rid or walgreens) and switch after no visible mites for 3 days
4. repeat in two weeks
5. repeat in four weeks

Not even a thank you to the great advice? This was really nice of you Randy! This is why I'm about done "offering advice."

What's the difference? People ask for opinions.. WHY? You're just gonna go on and do what you think is best!

What one really needs to do.... Is think about why and how they get Mites in the first place.... When ya figure that out, ya never see em again! Think about it.. Suddenly paying $50 extra or more from a known good dealer seems worth it !

I did says thanks guys for the advice but an advice is just that, an advice, and I got plenty of them. I went with the one that I thought was better. And no offense I usually don't call people that I don't know over the phone.

No worries. That's all you can do is go with what you think is the best advice. Its fine that you don't call, I am not a stalked from across the country I just honestly do not want to type for an hour explaining something that would take me five minutes to say. I hope the advice you got works for you. If not you can try my method, it has worked for quite a few people I have given it to. If you need we have a mutual friend that can call me then he can call you if the method does not work. Good luck

Lol I know your not a stalker and I respect the advice you have given me. If this does not work, then I will turn to prevent a mite. Thanks!

This is the only method I have found that works. PAM is some wonderful stuff and worth every penny. I treat once a month with it now and stay mite free. Also doesn't hurt to treat a snake with some reptile relief (natural chemistry) when you get a new one home from the show or out of the box it was shipped in.

Ok, awesome, he was just concerned about the situation, and after he told me, I wanted to make sure everything went ok. Glad to hear it got rid of the problem!!! Take care. Talk soon.
