Well, they're wood mites, so I don't think it matters much health wise but I wish he would've told me. I only have one ball python, so no worries about it getting out of hand. I did everything I could because I thought that they were snake mites, I've been using some reptile spray and I haven't seen the mites for the past few days. My snake doesn't seem to like quarantine though.

I don't really think it's a big deal, it's not like there were colonies of mites. I only saw around 3, and not even in the same day. However, I freaked out when I thought they were snake mites.

Do you guys know a better way to keep humidity when using newspaper? Perhaps I should add another wet towel or make a humidity hide? I already have the screen top 75% covered.
