OK, I used to use a chunk of vapona in a stocking hung in the cage, but Vapona is no longer available and it apparently was not that good for the snakes either!!

I bought some substrate from a less than reputable petshop, it was loose and bought by weight....soon after I had mites....

This time I used.."Bye Bye Mites" from Lucky reptile..(look for it on the internet or your local pet shop..
I bleached (5% solution) the tanks and plastic/ceramic furniture
Sprayed the bye bye mites on all wood furniture, ...
Brand new substrate, in a sealed bag...
Washed the snakes in a warm bath, dried with thick paper towel..
And then sprayed the whole snake with the bye bye mite...

All gone, no trace!
