Mistakes, mistakes.

First and foremost I will say that this does not mean in any which way shape or form that the breeder you got your snake from can be held responsible for the fact that 5 days later your snake has mites. You got it from a reptile show in which it was in close quarters with hundreds of other reptiles and how many snakes did you hold that day along with the amount of other ppl that held your snake and others before you left with yours snake? I'm not saying that you ARE trying to smear the breeders name, it's just that in such a post pertaining to an issue such as mites then in the very same post you throw the breeders name and business name out there .... Just doesnt seem right to me. ....On to the reason of your post .. why wait to treat your other two snakes? Reptile spray is perfectly ok to use on your other snakes as a preventative even if they do not show them, go ahead and do that now. As far as the Pam goes, it is some very handy stuff, I use it myself. Just beside to follow the directions to a T as the fumes can be harmful to your snakes if you do not. Good luck on getting rid of them

I understand your concern. I am in no way trying bad mouth him or to say he should be held responsible. As far as I am concerned it is my responsibility to remedy the problem. But I do know that neither of my snakes had mites prior to this, and this snake does. Also, I think the question was rhetorical, but I held two other snakes on the day of the show.

I appreciate your input regarding the treatment products.

If somebody could remove the line about the origin of the animal that would be fine.
