Just remember, it kills insects, so don't use it around bug colonies or in insectivore cages.
the crazy thing is the mites are on some of the first snakes i ever got!! but i had just turned my garage into my snake room and have racks in the house for new snakes. But the albino's have a rack completely to themselves and everything!! But i didn't get enough feeders a few weeks ago and picked some rodents up at a small reptile shop up the road. So i'm either thinking they hitchhiked on a feeder (my albino male turns his nose up at f/t still! but it's a work in progress!!!) or i'm wondering if it's possible they got into the garage from under the house or outside? either way it's opened my eyes to taking preventative measures from hear on out!!! I've checked all the new arrivals in the house and no mites? (that i see anyways) so i'm kinda stumped as to where they came from
