Vet found 1 mite Now what??

[Bogertophis]

Question about her Accurite Temp/humidity gauge... It has slots for the air to go thru, could mites go it there and lay eggs??

The one I have is an all in one gauge that just sites in the tank, no probes with it.

What should I do with it? Heat it up with a hairdryer? Put it in the garage for the cold, and leave it out there for 30 days to make sure everything is dead?

All the other plastic plants ect are getting washed in soap and hot water. But don't think I can through the temp gauge in there.

Somehow I missed this earlier post & I would say yes, mites can hide in that gauge too so you should be treating it either chemically or time/temperature methods.

Not sure your plastic plants will be safe either with just a wash off...I think most ppl toss fake plants, as there's too many crevices & it's risky, but if you bag them up
tightly & treat with Frontline or whatever, & leave them out for long enough (over 30 days+)??? Take your chances, I guess?
