Sorry for being slow to respond. The Hypoaspis mites (product code HYP01, normally used for sciarid control) are the mites which eat snake mites. They work by killing the stages of the snake mites that are found in the vivarium (not on the snake). So it takes a few weeks before they can wipe out the snake mites. It is important that the conditions in at least part of the viv substrate are kept slightly moist to enable Hypoaspis to survive long enough to do the job.
Hope this helps
