Any suggestions on how to kill mites on a feeder?
Also how do you tell the difference between mites that rats get and snake mites?
How is it that people consistently think that you can be a temporary vector but a mouse or rat can't? Snake mites will temporarily hitchhike on whatever they run across.
Angela, you're not going to kill mites on a feeder without potentially poisoning your snake. You're either going to have to switch sources or go to F/T.

Same!
I got mites from a Reptile Show, and I do the exact same thing when I get home. My boyfriend haaates it, and thinks it is unnecessary.
Oh well! I still make sure it happens!
