I have....correction had 2 juveniles in QT for possible mites. I saw a dot on one and when I got it off and squeezed it it popped! Gross.
When they arrived to me I placed them in separate tanks with aspen, Ive never used this because I think it's hard to keep sanitary. So I saw a mite and that substrate had to go. I put them together to clean out the 20long he was in and it took a little while because I was being alittle anal about the mite eggs or hoppers or any of the stuff I've read. I came back in and my heart stopped! The little girl got out!!! Or so I thought. I tossed all the bedding around looked under the water in the hides but she was nowhere! Got the flashlight looked under and over for her and then I looked closer at my boy RAVI. He doesn't have a rat bump in his belly his whole body is a bump almost head to tail. So I look at the charts for last time I took weights she's 195 he's 360 then I get the scale..... Just over 500 so.........I've heard of this and considered it almost a"myth" and never gave it another thought.
I really liked that snake
on a lighter note when should I feed him again I'm thinking 10 days, this was a expencive week for snake food
