    How did your snake get mites?

    I have been reading numerous old threads in order to research the prevention of snake mites, especially where they come from. While most threads indicate that mites usually come from a living host (i.e. a snake or other reptile), I did find numerous threads that claimed that mites can spread in other ways, such as from store-bought bedding. I hope to hear from your experiences on how and where your snake got mite, and the likelihood of getting mites from the different possible ways. Thanks!

    My snake does not have mites, but as you can tell, I am very paranoid about getting them
