Oh jeeze... Help

Some of you might remember me talking about the dumerils boa at Petco about a month ago and debating whether or not to get her. Guess who came home with me today? Most of the people that commented told me not to get her, but the fact that I have fallen in love with the species and I didn't want her to die got the best of me.

Bonnie has a new home with me, but is covered in mites and is dehydrated and I can feel her ribs, only slightly though. Her humidity was only at 15% at petco with her temps between 80-90! I talked to my manager and he let me take her for $120, $80 less than normal price. I'm soaking her in warm water as I type and I have sprayed the tank with a mite spray already. Her eyes are sunken in and I'm sure there are probably mites around her eyes. She hasn't eaten since before I started in the grooming salon, which was about 2 1/2 months ago. I plan on bringing her to the vet soon, and it will be within the 15 day warranty so they will have to pay for it, not me. Any advice on what I should do in the mean time? I'm gonna keep her on paper towels until I'm sure the mites are gone, then I'll switch her over to reptibark.
