.... I know that this subject was beaten to death here... but just recent even in My collection let me write again here:
QUARANTINE YOU NEW ANIMALS !!!!!!
I Acquired pair of Albino house snakes on last White plains show... they eat fine shed for me recently.... I transported them together from show... dint noticed anything till yesterday.... Yesterday I've noticed mite infestation in male enclosure...
I have no Idea how but i got bugs...
I've changed substrate on both to paper... go for chemical warfare as well...
Check them today and look like female is clean (thanks Gods) male enclosure was full of dead buggers...
He looks way better today without creepy crawlers on him.... Repeated procedure and hoping for the best....
is a second time i Bring mites from show... both times right Quarantine Procedure (at least all i can do in room 12x10 feet i rent in NYC) hopefully saved my collection....
Like someone in this forum said before... I don't care if animals came from GOD himself.. I Still will quarantine them....
