I went to get fang a new hide so he couldn't get his eyes all scratched up from rubbing them because of his cuts. Well while looking at the hides that they had a girl that worked there asked me if everything was alright. I told her yes I was just look around at the hides. I told her that I was treating him for mites and she asked me what I was using for substrate. I told her I was using paper towels and she looked shocked she said no use the green mat stuff and I told her no that PT was fine it helps me see if the mites are there and running around and when they are gone I am going back to eco-earth. She says now there why you have mites , eco-earth will give them to your snake. I paused and said no that is not why he got them as he had them while on aspen. I should of said no Fang got them because of where you got him from or your other snakes had them and gave it to him but didn't. Now here is a question can eco-earth give your snake mites and if so why do they sell it?
