It also recommends heating the enclosure to well over 100*. If I close the tub (with Sangre in a separate enclosure, of course) and leave it out in the sun, the inside will well exceed 120*. I think I'll try that tomorrow.


And what do you think about mite origins? I know there is no set-in-stone evidence of where they originate, but I have no idea how Sangre could have gotten them. He is captive bred, came from The Blood Line, and he definitely didn't have mites when I got him. The only think I can think of is the one time I took him outside and let him crawl around in the grass. I'm in the western US. Is it possible for him to pick up some type of external parasite here?
I wouldn't trust Melissa Kaplan as far as I could throw her. Dig a little deeper into her background and you'll figure out why.

I've used PAM in the past and it works fine. You treat once (follow the directions) and you're fine.
