You know, the mites weren't as much of a nightmare as everything I've read had made them out to be, sure I had to do the work, but it's not like it was difficult, I just changed her bedding to paper and changed it daily, soaked her in warm water daily and sprayed her tank down with weak bleach water and reptile relief a couple times, plus putting it on her twice. It only took a week. Which I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a long time, but it wasn't that long to me, especially not seeing her go from mites literally all over her and in her heat pits to not seeing any at all in a week, it was very very nice.
