I really hope you aren't keeping all your snakes in one tank, its bad enough to keep the same species together, but keeping different species like ball pythons and burms together is very stressful for the animals. It is best for each animal to have its own enclosure. You can very easily get a bunch of sterilite tubs from Walmart or Target for very cheap, and set them up with UTHs (under tank heat pads), which MUST be controlled with a dimmer or thermostat, otherwise they can cause bad burns. Are you using a heat rock in the tank now? I may be wrong but it looks like the burm is laying on one... I would try to take that out as soon as possible, it can cause your snakes some very bad burns. I hope this helps, and it is fairly cheap to make the change over to tubs, and much better for the animals. Gorgeous snakes by the way!

And as far as the mites go, if you don't treat her and the enclosure, they will come back. And whats more, if you are keeping all the snakes together, they will all get mites, if they don't already have them. You can order Provent-a-mite from Pro-Products, I will link the website for you. This is by far the best tool against mites that I have come across, and again is not that expensive. Make sure you only use it on the enclosure, and NOT on the snake. Follow the directions on the can exactly, and you will not have any more mites. Good luck!

Don't wanna sound like a tool here but the #1 rule when it comes to snakes is, the only good heat rock, is the heat rock with the power cord cut off. Nice lookin snakes!

here is a better one for ya, no offense aarimie, but you don't need to go buy proventamite, that is a waste of money flat out.  go to walmart the the pharmacy section, in the section they sell lice treatment stuff,  by a can of equate lice bedding spray, now here it the very funny part, look up proventamites ingredients and compare them to the equate bedding spray, you will find the exact same ingredients and mixture at only a fraction of the cost.  bedding spray is only 4 bucks a can.  look in the husbandry section, donnie has a nice care sheet on curing mites.

Oh shit.

[snakebite33308]

and here is a big point, if you are going to use ivermectin spray MAKE SURE to get PIG AKA SWINE ivermectin, do not buy CATTLE IT IS FAR TOO STRONG, 1 cc to 24 oz's of water from the vet's own mouth

You can use what you want, all I know is I buy the stuff MEANT for reptiles...
