Ive done this so far. I sprayed him with Mite Off by Zoo Med. I waited for about 3 days then soaked her in water. I noticed that alot of dead and alive mites came off of her. I then inspected the cage and saw mites everywhere so i changed the snakes water and let her soak again. I put her in a new container and sprayed the cage with a bleach/water solution. I let the cage sit over night, Later today Im going to spray the cage one more time. The snake looks like it is about to shed so I think Ill wait until it sheds and put it back into its old enclosure. Does that sound like it might work?

The zoo med stuff disolves the mite away so to speak but does nothing for whats in the snake room. The Provent-a-mite kills them all. You need to kill the ones roaming around your room too.

so the zoo med works? I just want to get rid of the ones off of the snake first and then get some preventamite soon. They came out of nowhere. I sprayed him twice and he still has some crawling on him.

Do not put pest strips in the cage with ANY reptile.
Pest strips by definition are poisonous and snakes, lizards and turtles will suffer and die from contact with pest strips.
The correct way to use the "Shell No-Pest Strip" is to cut it into 1" to 2" squares and put them on top of the screened lid.
I recommend visiting www.Herpo.com and click on his link about mite control. His method worked for me and is safe for your reptiles.
