Confused about everyones Mites

We just got two sub adult female pastels and one male albino. I checked the snakes for 1/2 an hour looking for problems including mites.I didn't see one until about twenty min. after the guy left. It was still a good deal 525.00 total.I think it is under control now!.

Depends on the type of mites.

For snake mites it all comes down to your snake being in contact (direct or indirect) or proximity to a mite infested snake.

Having PAM is always a good idea, my first snake had mites (my only pet store acquisition) never had a problem since then again it might be because I am a bit ocd about them.

I always have a can of PAM handy and any new addition get treated while in quarantine (just in case), I also treat my collection each time I go to a show (heck sometimes I even feel like spraying myself with PAM when I go to a show ;))

Other type of mites, whether from rodents or substrate are host specific.

When it comes to my rodent colony I also treat new addition for mites while in quarentine.

Like I said I am ocd when it comes to mites whether it comes to my snakes or rodent colony.

Well my new Enchi male arrives tomorrow and I hope he doesn't come with any mites. He shouldn't though, I purchased him from clock work reptiles. Thanks for the answers. Mitch
