Not knowing your friend but one thing that could be the cause of getting mites is not having proper quarantine. Seeing that your snakes got them as well his snakes were not quarantined from your properly.



Just because you have no proof doesn't mean you can't provide them with the environment that you see fit. At the same time you have no reason to say that the people that keep theirs in tubs or on paper that they have no passion or willingness to do anything.

With that being said, and I know that you don't care, but it's the way that you come across. That you are right and what everyone says is wrong is what people have a problem with. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but at the same time there is no need to have to be right all the time. Having to have the last word all the time that your right is just childish and something I expect from my 8yo but not from a grown adult.

Use your initiative, what type of sand do you think i am using?

It could be that, more likely that he picked them up from else where as his reptiles are his job. So they're always clean etc.

But that is my opinion that i am right and that the others are wrong, why is so that so hard to accept? It's only opinion. And i honestly don't know how many times i have to say it, but i have nothing against tubs! If they're of adequate size etc. Maybe some of you would like to post your set ups? Would be interesting to see how many of you have tubs/racks longer than the actual adult snake?
