    Question on mites?

    If you had mites, would you see any moving ones? Depending on the answer I may or may not have another question. Thanks guys

    guess it would depend where they are in the life cycle.

    You might, but more often than not, they are sucking the blood out of your snake.

    If you grab A magnifying glass and under bright light check out the water bowl, if the snake has mites it's probably been soaking.

    Well I've never had mites so I'm trying to figure out what I'm seeing... Do snakes just leave single scales behind? That will be that question. The other question is can you still mist a tank after you've put down proventamite? I have a couple snakes going into shed so I'd like to keep the humidity up... Thanks you all for the help!!!
