Make sure to keep the kids, pets, etc.. away until the PAM is dried.

Sorry to hear about your bad experiance.

Actually I did that right away.. I also sprayed the doorway to the quarantine room. I changed my clothes and scrubbed my arms down too.. hopefully none stuck to me and hitched a ride elsewhere. Only time will tell.

Ed has offered a can of provent-a-mite, which I accepted.

Fantastic!! This means that its all god in the hood?:sunny:

I hope Ed has learned to be more diligent in both quarantine, and checking snakes over before sending them out. So long as the mites do not spread to my other snakes, I am content.

Agreed!

But what can he do about stoping the mites from moving? This isn't ment to be rude question at all...btw.

good to hear april. i'm glad everything has worked around to your satisfaction.

and i'm sending (((no mite))) vibes to your home!!! :hug:

Thank you for the update April. I will keep my fingers crossed that the damage has been controled and your collection will stay mite free.

He can't do anything about that, but I did everything I could to prevent them from spreading. It is his fault I have them in the first place, so that's the point.

Ah..ok I get it. Good luck!!

Update.


Ed has assured me that this was a fluke one time accident and that the Angolan has no mites and was never exposed to them. He explained his setup and exactly what happened.

Based on this information, I have told him our deal will continue.

I will update on how this goes.

Ed, 1 mite, and %$%$#
