Hi, Im new to this forum and just got a baby ball python a few weeks ago. So my problem is that my snake keeps getting mites. It hasn't gotten bad but Ive already cleaned its cage 4 times in 3 weeks. Changed the bark, scrubbed the whole thing out and have even changed terrariums in paranoia that i was missing some tiny little area that a mites could be hiding and scrubbed all items that were going to be put in the tank. I've bought mite off by zoo med and sprayed the snake and bark and everything else with an unnecessary amount of it. The mites will be gone for a while and then magically their back! So Im convinced its in the bark even though I said I sprayed it because the first two times I changed the bark I didn't spray the new stuff put in and the mites would appear later that day vs after spraying it takes a few days for a visual arrival. Plus I had issues with this before with a tortoise but the idea of a company selling an infected product didn't cross my naive mind. Does any body have any suggestions of a different bedding I could use? that I will not have to worry about this issue and waste lots of money wishing and hopping the next bag will be mite free? Thank you!!![]()
