As are those that are exposed to large numbers of reptiles like at expos.
How does a captive snake get mites from a poorly kept cage? I thought mites were an outside parasite/insect issue, so if your snake is mite free he or she will remain that way if they are in an enclosure and not let outside or taken to an expo to socialize.
