What else is there to do? He sent some mites with the snakes unknowingly, they got on the snake and transfered the desease. I dought he will say NO BIG DEAL. And if a mite carrys IBD and gives it to someone elses snake it sure has already spread to Eds snakes.

QUARANTINE - do you guys honestly believe not having quarantine practices in place is NOT a big deal?

Re: ECLARK - mites
I admit I was a bit suprised to see a thread of this nature pop up here Ed. It will be telling to see how all is handled.

Justin, he already did:
Steve, mites are not the end of the world!
That translates to no big deal to me.
No one says he has IBD, but IBD CAN be carried by mites, so having mites is a BIG deal.
His lack of quarantine is a bigger one.

for the record i recieved balls from mike willbank. they were packed 5 to a bag. and they weathered the trip fine.
and on the topic of ibd. if they do have it, it is not like with boas where they dont even show signs of ibd for months. balls die form ibd relly quick.
i agree that this is a problem that should of been handaled privetly first.
also this is the first time i have ever herd of a negative transaction with ed.
i guarentee that there is not a single person in here with more than 100 snakes that has not had a mit or two at one time or another.
i have herd of stories of people going to reptile shows and coming home and then three days later they have a out of know where mite infestion.
and i do feal ed owes some compensation. like a new can of pam.
but if down the road other snakes fall sick then the real compensaiton comes in

I have over 500 ball pythons and have never had a single mite in my collection.
Hope this helps.

it doesn't to me. No big deal means that I can just forget aobut it.
But not bieng the end of the world doesn't mean it is a good thing.

No, never.
Snake mites are not found on WC or CH animals that are imported from West Africa.
