Are Mites Species Specific?
Post title kind of says it all. I recently started working at a veterinarian hospital and work with all kinds of animals. I recently treated a rabbit for ear and skin mites and of course came in contact with it. I began to wonder if somehow I could bring these nasty things home to my snakes? Anyone know?

Okay thank you! If I do end up treating a reptile how would you suggest I do it so I don’t bring something home?

If you know in advance about the reptile with mites, you can treat your whole room and around the enclosure with PAM beforehand. And maybe do a whole change of clothes outside your home and immediately shower!
