Oh no, mites!

[Bastiana]

I'm the proud new owner of 2 small corns. I've just about devoured every piece of literature I can find. My question now, though, is about mites.

This morning, after discovering that my snake had shed (yay!), I inspected him a little closer just to make sure the shed was complete (from what I can see, it was) but then I saw this little brown/black thing on it, and I'm assuming it was a mite. This, of course, happens right before I have to go to work :/ So, cleaning will have to happen once I get back home, less than ideal, but such is my life sometimes :P

I know I have to thouroughly clean out the tank, change the substrate (which I think I will change to CareFresh for this situation) and clean the hides, fake plants and water dish. Should i just use scalding water? Can I add a little bleach or soap if I rinse thouroughly? Also, I read somewhere that soaking the snakes in warm water helps with the infestation. Is this true?

I've looked for threads here that would give me the answers I need, but couldn't locate any. If I missed an obvious one, just let me know and I'll be on my way.

I just want the little guys to have no more mites!

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
