I am definitely going to take as many precautions as I can. Some had mites and ticks, and I do have a spray called JurassiMite and it worked to eliminate all of my Ball python Bindi's mites a while back. I don't feed live rodents unless necessary, and I purchase them (don't keep my own or breed em). I would definitely follow any sanitary procedure possible, as I do tend to be a germaphobe even for my snakes' benefit. Also thank you for your concern, I really appreciate it and the information you've shared with me
