OMG, what a horrible experience, & so easy for others to replicate accidentally: I mean, raise your hand if your snakes never spill their water bowls?
Thank you for sharing this, and I really hope your little IJ makes a full recovery. Lucky you found her when you did...
Maybe this is a dumb question, but how could this have been avoided? You followed directions, cages were fully dry, & snakes do spill their water. Many
say they pre-treat their cages to avoid mite out-breaks, so I'm surprised this doesn't actually happen more often?
All I can think of is that with new acquisitions you should offer water daily+ with supervision & keep the bowl out of the cage until you can wash the
P-A-M out of the cage entirely? -like once you're sure there's no mites?
