This is true but again, snake mites won't be on rodents and vice versa. I did buy 3 mice from petco a year ago that ended up being infested with mites. Thankfully I'd put them in a tank far from my other rodents and put a layer of flea powder on the floor to prevent any stragglers from traveling. This is not what I'm talking about though.
