    New Pickup has MITES! :O

    Just thought I would let you all know

    The Breeding Size Female Normal I got in a trade last night well I checked her over again a few hours ago and I see lovely little black dots on the paper towel!

    Im like CERIALSLY

    So I sit and watch and sure enough they move....

    Got a picture and some video!!!



    Video!!




    ANNNND

    Here is the poor girl who has them....




    I will be doing the very effective NIX lice shampoo treatment.

    Should have them gone in no time!!!


    She isnt even close to my snake rack and I have no interacted with my snakes at all today so they should not have come in contact with any mites but of course I will still be treating the whole rack.

    No snakes anymore!

    Same here every new snake gets a nice spray with reptile spray mite killer. Has saved one mite outbreak in my quarantine rack.

    Lol I think she means from your establishes snakes.

    Yeah, you learn the hard way. I got a snake at a show and she came home witha few mites. Two treatments of PAM and I haven't seen a mite since!

    I now PAM all enclosures that I put a new snake in. I don't care where it came from. Prevention is key!
