    My BP (who was also my first snake) came to me with mites. Of course, at the time I didn’t know much about snake mites at all and didn’t even realize he had them until several weeks after I brought him home. That said, I’m kind of glad I experienced them with my first reptile as there was no way for them to spread and it has made me super diligent about preventative treatment with new additions.
