Okay, so I am not sure if this is in the right spot, but here it goes.

I ordered a Kenyan Sand Boa last week for my boyfriend. Petco was out, and he has been wanting one forever, so I placed a hold with a friend who works there that as soon as they got them in, I wanted to reserve one. All was good, and I just had to wait...

Well two days ago, I found out I got a package of infected Aspen, and now have a whole issue of mites. So far, only 3 of my snakes have them, and I have already started treatment.

Here's the problem though. The sandboa came in today, and either I pick it up today, or they put it out to be sold. Manager is whining about holding it, and I have to get it today or no luck....

Should I get the snake, and immediately treat it for mites? I know I have to quarantine it if i get it, but I'm having doubts.... Its like, I promised him the snake for Xmas, but this mite crap put a HUGE damper on everything. I have spent the past two days trying to de-mite all my snakes.

What should I do
