    I hate mites.

    A few months ago, I had my normal probed by a herpetologist. Biggest mistake I've made in a long time. He came back riddled with mites. I got him cleared up in about two weeks. He's 100% fine now. However somehow the mites got to my Pastel. About a week or so after I got my Normal settled out I saw a large mite on my Pastel. So I instantly cleaned her cage top to bottom, dumped everything out and sprayed her several times with Mite-Off over a few day time period. Everything was fine for a couple of weeks, she ate on her schedule, I followed up the treatment, and today I had her out and looked, and saw two mites just on her head, one running around and one in a heat pit. So frustrating. So I re-treated everything, but she is in the middle of shed, her eyes have been foggy for three or four days. So I'm not sure what to do. Seems like I just can't get rid of these little annoying things
    Any suggestions would be appreciated greatly.

    PAM, I spray once a month as a preventative measure and haven't had any problems.
