That's always a possibility. But more likely is picking them up at a show or pet shop and bringing them home to your own collection. Or, MOST likely, is getting a new animal that has them and then they spread like a damn plague. Hence, the need for quarantining any new additions. Mites suck!

When mine got mites I only ever seen one. After they started soaking there were dozens in the water. They hide really well, and if you found two you should deffinately treat them.

i am planning on treating them when the pam gets here but when did you start to see your snake soaking cause iv'e never seen her soaking or any little black dots in her water dish nor have i seen her acting like something is bothering her. The reason why i think she has mites other than smashing the 2 bugs is that when i put her back in her tank she yawned twice about a min apart and after i smashed the bugs i googled snake mites and on a website it said that they get in thier pits and mouth but when she yawned i didnt see any black dots in her mouth.
