Ah, at least you know the source, cold comfort though - what a bummer! Everyone's worst nightmare! Good luck and may the Callington's be with you ...all the very very best.

It seems to be the best regarded spray for snake mites - I haven't used it myself (and hope never to have to!) but people on here who've had to use it speak very highly of it. You can get it from all good rep shops and online (but again I hope you never have to either!)

Ah, Boomslang, we overlapped!
