ECLARK - mites

[CeraDigital]

Andrew, just curious, and it may not even be related, but did you get your mites after you got your shipment from Ed?

They came in a week or so before the shipment from Ed. I believe on a shipment from LLL Reptile and supply on the Bloods and Ball Pythons I had gotten from them.

Ah great, thanks for clearing that up!

Ed, this is serious.

I do not want to spend the type of money that Angolan will cost me if there are mites present in your collection.
I do not have mites and will not expose my animals to them. They can carry all kinds of diseases with them. There is no way I putting my animals at risk of an infestation.
Please address this situation ASAP!

I sent Ed a note asking him to comment on this.


This revelation puts me in a very awkward situation due to a pending deal with him.

Heres the problem with the mites in 1 of my baby racks. I bought a pair of ball python morphs for myself to keep that came from BHB in Michigan about a week and a half ago. gave them a quick soaking then put them into one of my baby racks. I hear today that I sent a ball python to april with mites. was a little surprised because I have never had mites and normally treat everything I buy before its put away. did not expect this coming from Brian Barczyk. long story short, spent the afternoon totally cleaning the rack that had mites in it including new tubs, bedding and scrubbing down the rack with hot soapy bleach water then spraying everything down with Provent-A-Mite. cant remember the last time having mites because I stay on top of it, just goes to show that it can happen to us all and we need to keep a watchful eye. I can assure you it wont happen to me again.


Crazydog, Sorry Dude, dont know you and have NEVER sold you a snake!

Are they elimiated?

Where are the angolans?

Were the ones from BHB isolated from the rest of your animal?

Have you informed Brian? He is one of the top, most respected breeders in the world and I am sure if there is any truth to this, he would want to know about it and this thread.

You have me confused with someone else. never sold you anything.

I thought i was the only one!

[ECLARK]

He knows!
