This past week and a half has been super hell for anyone who has ever gotten these things. I live in a apartment complex that I, assume, got them from since I suddenly noticed mattresses in dumpsters and people moving out and whatnot. As such, they have decided to migrate into my apartment . My question here is does anyone know if they will come after my ball python? I've gotten both yes and no from the internet, so I'm not 100% sure. I do know they enjoy wood and warmish places to hide and CO2. I use cypress mulch as bedding and I feel if I switch off to newspaper or something, they would still hide underneath it since that puts them even closer to the UTH. I'm in the process of getting out of here myself, but in case he/she is under attack I'd like to know. If it means anything, I have a cat with me as well, yet I seem to be the only one the bugs have taken a liking to. I started using Diatomaseous Earth to keep them at bay and it kept me bite free for the first night in a while yesterday. No irritant to me or my cat, just dusty.
