My Brother has around 100 pythons, most of them are different species of ball pythons and alot other pythons i have no clue. Him and his GF went on a cruise for 10 days on Monday, and he asked me to stop by daily and check the thermostats and water and just make sure no one was trying to get in. (He rents this place in a ghetto plaza just for the snakes) He told me not to feed them, but if I wanted to try it out to go in the freezer and thaw a rat out that is close to the big part of the body.
He gave me strict instructions not to go to my buddies house who has snakes, and theres no reason for any trips to pet stores so dont go there either. He said something about mites but I didnt think much of it. Well I ended up getting my friend at his place, and he wanted to feed a few snakes. The freezer was locked and I didnt get a key, so we went to the........pet store and bought 5 rats.
That was 2 days ago, I come in tonight after the bar and I notice black bugs everywhere in all the tubs on this one rack. I been googling and I see they are mites, and im wondering how the heck I get rid of em before he comes home and beats my a%$. Any tips? Can I get away with just cleaning the one rack? Is it really possible that pet store rats have mites?
