For the past 2 mornings i found my snake beavis in his water bowl soaking he has never done this before.... I found a black bug on his belly and quickly thought mites... Although i dont see how this is possible. as for the couple months i have had him he has been fine. I changed his substrate about a month ago but could it really take a whole month for mites to come out. I used the same bag of cypress mulch i used for the first bedding of the tank and he was totally mite free. just as a precaution im going to get prevent a mite and take all the necessary precautions but could this be just a fluke?
