Old thread boost! I wish I had seen it earlier. I ordered a 2013 male Lemonblast on Tuesday (as part of Make An Offer Day), received him on Wednesday... with mites. I am impressed with the snake itself (he's a stunner), but not with BHB. I sent a very nice email to them and pretty much was blown off with a canned "oh, sorry" response. Not that I'd expect a full refund or anything, but when a company effs up, some responsibility should be taken -- especially when I was respectful enough to email them instead of blasting them publicly on Facebook. I will not be ordering from them again.
As for Mr. Lemonblast, he is living in solitude and in treatment. I haven't seen a sign of live mites since I started treatment (thank goodness), but he's still being treated for dormant ones and eggs, etc. I got lucky, but that's not a chance I want to take again.

I've talked to people who have very clean collections get mite infested snakes from BHB. It's always been an issue with them.
Regardless, always treat new additions for mites in QT no matter where they come from.

They're fine sellers and have done some amazing projects, but as it appears, mites are a major issue in their facility and not a priority to fix. Disclaimer: I haven't worked with them and don't plan to.

Re: BHB reptiles/ Brian Barczyk
I had never heard of this issue at all before now...
I'm kinda surprised, as BHB is such a big name in the community, and it seems they would have their stuff spot on. Why wouldn't they make any sort of attempt to fix this mite issue?

Re: BHB reptiles/ Brian Barczyk
I have never bought from them. Honestly never even looked at their snakes, as I have read plenty where their snakes came in with mites. No thank you.
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

I got my normal ball python from BHB a month ago. He has no problems at all. Eats every feeding and is healthy.

I've wondered myself...
They constantly get so many animals going in and out of their facility, including imports. So even if they did treat an animal, another will probably bring more in.
And I seriously doubt they treat animals in QT or if they even have a QT....
