Ok a few days ago was feeding day, so I got mice from a different source than I usually get them from and I got a lot fewer than usual. Two days ago (or was it yesterday?) I was handling my big normal girl. When I put her back and looked down on my shirt I saw a mite. I freeked and checked her out. She had 2 mites on her. I checked myself again and I found another mite on me. I checked my other bps and 2 had a mite or two on them, but no one else did that I could see. No one has been soaking, nothing on the white papertowels. So anyway as soon as I discovered it I broke out the PAM. I scrubbed the tubs and treated everyone.
My questions is could the mites have come from the feeders? The snakes that had mites where the ones that ate. Tonight I checked and found a few dead mites in the tub of my big normal and one in one other bp (one that I found a mite on yesterday). No mites in any water dishes.
Could I have freeked a bit too soon? I have had mites before and they where heck to get rid of so I don't want them again. Can you give me any feedback on this? I am confused.
Oh and of course the normal girl refused her rats last feeding so I offered her mice and she ate 3 of them. She is going to drive me crazy.
