Alright so the other day I picked up 3 BPs from the 2013 CRBE. I noticed the Mojave (male) I bought was after checking, seemed clean at the expo so I bought it however when I got home I saw 3 black mites on him (keep in mind I've never seen a mite before on a snake so wasnt sure what to look for).

So of course where did I go? Right here and found some guides on getting NIX and diluting it with water... 5 days later and constant checking, I see 0 mites on the paper towel as well as the snake however with that said he is staying in the other room for another 3-6 weeks. I want to wait until it sheds personally but thats me.

Now, could it be that it was just a light infestation and I have likely killed all the mites? All of my other snakes are in good health and I have checked over and over and over again and they don't have any that I can see. I am still a little worried (and rightfully so with 6 BPs).



What has been your experience(s) with mites on your BPs in the past? Are you dealing with it now?
