SUBSTRATE INFESTED WITH MITES ALERT!
im posting this review everywhere - for ZOO MED FOREST FLOOR
I have bought this for awhile... the last batch (BOUGHT TWO WEEKS AGO) i just bought along with a NEW baby ball python (bought 3 weeks ago)... the last two weeks the new baby refused to eat... i had no idea why so i figured i would put in new substrate when i picked up his hide it was covered in wood mites! the substrate came infested! check all 5 of my other balls tanks to be sure it was the substrate and YUP all of them infested! I just spent the last 3 hours throwing every hide and substrate away, cleaning and spraying mite spray... now my snakes are sitting in their tanks with flowerpots and newspapers and glass and plastic bowls for water until i can afford to buy them all new hides (not made of wood) and try and find a non wood substrate for them.. this MAKES ME SO ANGRY! 3 BAGS OF 24 QT SUBSTRATE WASTED! $$$!! I HOPE MY SNAKES WILL BE OKAY!

Im seriously so angry...anyone know of any non wood substrates that can be used in tanks?? i do not want to have to worry about another infestation!
