Ok?.......so they live on rats, but don't feed on them....so mites are self sustaining(sp?) now?.....that doesn't make sense.....I understand if you offer to one snake that has mites, and move to another snake that doesn't, the mites can pass to that snake, but reptile mites will not just 'show up' on a rodent.....they have to origionate from somewhere.......if you got reptile mites from a feeder, it is because the person you got that feeder from has offered it to a snake that has mites......

If reptile mites do not feed on rodents, then how do they survive?......I guess that is my problem with your statement.....
