i'm wondering about the plywood rack too though, could it be harboring some sort of wood mite/bug/parasite?
i am going to check the water bowls as soon as i get home (yes, i'm internetting at work, bad girl!) and i will for sure try running the het. pied, and a few other snakes through wet paper towel to see if there are any other bugs.
if it turns out this is some sort of other bug, do i even need to do anything to irradicate them?
They are mites from the Aspen. BG hates the leeetle buggers.:taz::taz::taz::rage::rage:
