thats why i said rinse and repeat, you would have to do this a few times.

i have only had what i thought were mites 2 times on my ball pythons anyways the first time i used nix and it definitely worked, second time i was going to nix again but then a friend told me that it is harmful, and recommended ivory soap so i tried and it worked, that is my experience.
there are others who use and recommend ivory on the net, but i dont want to be the one who told yo to believe everything you read on the net.

now i do know that nix is bad for even humans, so im just saying that if you have the time there is a safer way to do it,
your snakes may not show any ill signs at first but who knows what they could later develop in life.

anyways this is getting off topic, use what you will,

edit: i guess i shouldnt have asked a question when im trying to not derail any further
