Shaggy I had this problem not long ago and there is a thread about it from a few months ago. Here's what I did after being advised by many on this site.
I left the hatchling in the enclosure and sprayed for about 4-5 seconds 'til there was a light "fog" . I made sure to spray away from the snake so it didn't go directly on him but left him in there the whole time. I also removed any water bowls.
I then boiled all my cage furniture to make sure everything was dead.
I think I also wiped the snake down with warm water just to get any chemicals off him - probably unecessary but it can't hurt I guess.
I waited a day then put the water and furniture back in the cage.
I repeated htis process again 2 weeks later to get any hatched mite eggs.
Also apparently it is best to spary at night with the lights off as that is when mites some out.
I haven't had a problem since 
Hope this helps.

orange-medic is the best thing to use. DO-NOT use orange medic plus as tee tree oil will kill reptiles. Mix 50/50 with water. place snake in bin and spray well, spray tank and wipe out. Pour water over snake and return to tank. Kills mite and eggs. Mite cycle broken one application. Can be used on juvs with no ill efect. Same active ingrediant as cabin spray except cheaper for twice as much.

Where is The Sydney Reptile and Amphibian Centre? I just went looking for it and couldn't find it. They have two addresses on the website and I found another in the yellow pages. The address I found in the Yellow pages was a house?!? I am not the only one as I ended up at some petmart in the area who said I was the third person to ask about it but he had no idea where it was. Could some one post or pm me with specific directions as I'm sick of shopping at pet stores with a small overpriced reptile section. Cheers

Thanks for the welcome instar. I hope to become a regular and stay out of the firing line. I'm only a begginer so I don't have an ego to rub.
