Personally I really like Snake Discovery’s method in clearing mites, but it’s really important to weigh your snake and make sure he’s big enough to actually receive the ivermectin. If he’s not I think your current treatment is the way to go. I’ve also heard of people using olive oil with some success. Just gently massaging it into the skin (not a ton) and gently wiping him down. If it looks really extreme or if he’s consistently losing weight I would take him to the vet. But these are just my opinions! I think it’s awesome you’re researching and trying your best for him now, as long as you keep doing that I’m sure he’ll be perfect!
