I have a red tail that I have treated and I feel that I have killed them all. How long should I keep her separated from my male? It’s been about a week and a half since I first treated her. Can I put her with my male now or after she sheds?

I have 2 California Kingsnakes 1 male and 1 female. My female who is currently eggbound had a really bad outbreak of mites last week she was covered from head to tail but my male was not. The most effective treatment i have found so far is as follows every three days i treat both snakes and tankwith a mite-off solution and bathe both snakes in luke warm water for minimum of 1 hour everyday and so far i have not seen anymore mites.

I am a vet tech and I just did a NaCl fecal on a milk snake and it looks like a sarcoptic mite in the fecal. It is most definitely a mite but looks exactly like a sarcoptic mite. Is this possible for a snake to have a sarcoptic mite?
