Also leave your snakes (both of them) on kitchen roll for a month, makes it easier to see any of the beasties should they still be there |

yup for quite a while yet Stotty. The live mites may be dead/ dying but you will need to keep the treatment up for quite a while yet to make sure you get all the eggs |

If I am honest with you, I think Alex is EXTREMELY mature, but if you want to that bad then do it.

these are lazy snakes at the best of time and them going to the toilet is not different, they save it up for ages. |

That being the case, make sure they are both on kitchen paper for substrate and keep a close eye on medusa.
good luck |

Also make sure you have got medusa quarantined if you can to minimise the risk of passing on the mites.
