Hi Lori
Here is a good way to ERADICATE MITES. I hate this little guys.
I clean the cage and every thing that is in it with bleach water and then dry it out. I put my Boas in a Rubber Maid tub with seven dust 5% (NOT THE 10%) on them over night then I give my Boas a warm bath to clean them off. I also put a light dusting of seven dust 5% in the cage and leave it in for about 1 or 2 week. Then I clean the cage one more time with bleach water to get all the seven dust and DEAD MITES out. I know some people will say this is not safe for your Boas but I have had nothing but good luck with this. I have had Boas since 1979 and have not lost one boa from this.
I got this information from my Vet.
If you want to use the reptibark. You can put a light dusting of the seven dust in the reptibark. I have done this one time and it worked great. I had it set up like this for 2 months. All of my snakes were ok. But I went back to using newspaper it is much easier to clean the cage.
