Well, I guess when your neck of the woods is Washington, this is a true statement. But, here in Florida, where you can't toss a McDonalds wrapper without hitting a native reptile, mites are a real concern at all times.

(P.S. I don't really throw McDonalds wrappers...:rolleyes:)

WELL a little update: I put some extra paper towels in the new hide to kinda buffer it up, it seemed to help as since then she's been chilling in the hide. I've also kept it covered with a light blanket to make it darker and since then she's been very calm. This also could've been because she was in hyper-drive for somewhere between 30 and 48 straight hours, so I'll just keep a close eye on her for a while.

I don't want to mess with her tub for another few days at least to give her a chance to de-stress since due to the commotion she caused I had to reach in there a lot. :x I hope she'll eat again soon, her old owner claimed she'd never refused food but said owner didn't feed her well as I mentioned. Is it possible my BP's just stuffed for the first time in her life?? (lol)

Maybe. My little girl ate every 2-3 days as a baby like clockwork. Now she is fat and lazy so I guess she doesn't really need food lol. Good that yours calmed down. Figured it was a hide issue as you said once her hide got destroyed cause of water, she went hyper.

@Slim. Yeah I guess down in Florida, snake mites would be more prevalent. I mean up here you find em on wild snakes still but I live in the city/suburbs so you don't really find snakes wandering around here unless you go out of the way to the woods or up to mountains to find them.
