Oh boy, can mice carry mites!?!?!? NASTY little buggers! Hurts and itches like crazy when they bite! (Rats, too) But, they are different mites than snake mites. The mites that rodents carry can and will get on you and bite you. I don't know if they will bite a snake. I recently discovered the source of the mites in my rodent colony when I was assist feeding a mouse to one of my snakes. Mites were crawling all over that mouse after it died. The snake does NOT have mites.
