: Nope! If you read the label REALLY carefully (little itty bitty print part) it says it is a mite repellant, not killer. I know this because I had a similar situation (bought snake w/ mites 'cause absolutely loved him & store threw in a bottle of the stuff free).

: If you use this, change his bedding frequently during the treatment period & clean the cage constantly, it WILL eventually get rid of them for a while...but they'll come back.

: Use caution with the pest strips, some snakes are sensitive to them. There is a spray that is totally safe & works great...unfortunately it's name escapes me at the moment. You might want to check some of the archives...there was a bunch of discussion about it a few months ago.

: Good luck...those little guys are a pain!!
