So, you can't tell the mites apart then? (yikes!) I was assuming the predators were bigger & distinguishable...I'd also assume the predatory mites would NOT be
on the snake...I'd be very uncomfortable seeing that. What about eggs left by the original mites? The predators die off naturally...when they run out of food???
Thanks for the update...hard to tell how well this is working though, from what you said.
