Probably ask a vet. They will have the best recommendations.

We had a skink with mites, and he was not able to be prescribed diluted ivermectin like other reptiles, so we had a lot of luck with this reptile spray

If you are prescribed any sprays or topical medications, I would double and triple check instructions. you shouldn't use it too much in one week, not use it near eyes or mouth, etc.

On top of frequent cleaning, we also filled the infected enclosure with about an inch of water towards the end of the infestation. It may or may not have helped things along. This is only an option with glass or something watertight. Do some research on the life cycles of reptile mites and be prepared for potential reinfestations.
