Mites from a show.

Well Went to Repticon in Winston-Salem picked up 3 females. And they all have mites. they are being treated It happens hope it clears up quickly.

Ouch. Proof quarantine is absolutely required for all new additions.

And....
When are we going to see photo's of these new girls?

2 are regular normals one is very silver with nice blushing..I have to load to photo bucket so in a few minutes.

were they all from the same breeder?

no 2 different.

Ugh one of my fears. Hope you get rid of them quickly.

Wish I could say that was uncommon. I was there as well. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed in the animals available. Who were the breeders?

I bought from sky and sea pet shop and the other I cant remember the other. It was in th back room with Herp Society. Thats where I bought 2 of them . But I know of one that had mites shortly before tis thing too. So who knows.

Wow glad I'm done buying for awhile. The person you bought them from admitted they had mites and brought them to a show.....

We have brought mites home from shows without even buying any animals :mad:

You've confirmed my suspicions about both of those breeders. The one in the back was Full Spectrum Reptiles. I've seen them both at several shows and they have always made me uneasy. Thanks for the heads up!

I think 2 or 3 at the most.
That's why we head straight to the shower now when we get home.

I think I will stick to not handling the snakes.
I'm pretty much done buying for a very long time anyway but it's got me thinking if they can hitch a ride home on your clothes wonder what else they could.
