• Answer:

  If you don't see anything moving on the snake the mites are gone. LOok for little dots that move to be sure. Ok the breeding thing. They have to be a certain wieght inorder to breed. But please don't power feed to get them to there weight. If you want to know for sure the sex of the snake go and get it probed by a exotic pets expert. I have talked to many vets and snake specialist they have all said the same thing that is to get it probed. Many people will tell you to look for the anal spurs those are the claws that are at either side of the vent. But those are very inacurate sometimes. Some people offer a snake stud service. I find this weird . But if it works it works. Look at Kingsnake.com They Have some excellent breeders and classified adds that may help you with the breeder idea. I orgot to mention to please clean the snakes tank out too when you are rid o the mites.
