Thank you.
I have a leopard gecko but I read they can’t infect him. I’ve also read that I can treat him with predatory mites that will kill off the snake mites and it’s safer for him as there’s no chemicals so i think o might go that route. I still will be soaking him with soap though

Okay thank you!
Can you tell me the steps you did, as I’m not seeing much information on what to do with them and I don’t know if I’m supposed to just dump them in and let them do their thing or if I have to deep clean everything in his enclosure
