Maybe this was just bad luck getting mites from that shop- they're VERY common from commercial establishments that get animals shipped from various less-reputable
sources. I'd have been very skeptical of ONLY online reviews (since some businesses get their friends to post fake reviews) but your 3 friends were fairly credible. Anyway,
"mites happen".
Let's hope none of the mite eggs survived anywhere...stay vigilant. It's safer to keep a new snake on white paper towels for 30+ days, but here's hoping.
You might want to size up her prey slightly. Probably just as well that you got a female instead of a male...they usually feed more reliably. Anyway, here's a feeding chart...most ppl here weigh their BPs to assess the right size & frequency of prey, & we aren't seeing your snake either, to know if she's too thin.
