Yes, Sevin is relatively safe to use on snakes. However, I have found the best way to get rid of mites is to place the infected snake in a covered bucket of water for a couple hours while you thoroughly clean out the cage, wash it and replace the bedding. The mites usually drown. May have to be repeated again after a few weeks if the mites return.

What do you do if your tortoise have mites?

Unfortunately there is no genuinely simple way to get mites off of a tortoise. It is important to change the environment they live in as well as your pet. Spray the tortoise's home with toxic pesticides to help kill off any living conditions the mites might be partaking in. Give your pet tortoise a bath to help remove any living mites on them and make sure to bathe them with gloves on and in an area where the mites will not infect.
