Ah I've been cursed! I started a thread recently wondering why my BP was spending all her time in her water dish & a few of you suggested it could be mites...she has a naturally speckled pattern so I honestly didn't see anything & thought I was in the clear.

Went to my rosy boa today & saw shes covered in black specks [very obvious on her as shes albino] & yup its mites so I'm assuming my BP does have them too! Where they came from I have no idea! Then how both snakes got them I also have no idea...my BP is kept downstairs & in a whole different room & I have always been vigilant about sanitizing my hands etc. Guess these things just happen.

Read up on how to treat them...but my question is, will my rosy be ok with me soaking her? I have heard horror stories of rosys getting sick from being soaked due to being extremely intolerant of any humidity?

Obviously if I don't she will get sick from the mites so its a lose/lose situation...I just really hope she will be ok
