Just a hunch. I got them back in January. Without knowing for certain how long the reproductive cycle of a mite is, I would think that the tank would have been swarming with mites a lot sooner than 3 months later.
There's no question the mites came from this store. Afterall the snakes, mice, and bedding came from this store. I just think that it was with the mice later on (if the mites could live on mice), Or one of the bags or boxes the mice came in. If its a longer cycle, then I guess it could have been the snakes themselves.
