PAM question

[Oxylepy]

Not trying to high-jack the thread here but where do the mites come from? I also have box turtles, kept outside. Can they have mites I can be giving to my BP? I have never had to treat my box turtles for them though, just wondering where or how the snake gets them?

I would assume any reptile mites (and possibly avian ones, could be remembering incorrectly) could potentially feed on the snakes.
