As for mites she is mite free. She came to me right from the vets office. When going to any shows, peoples homes and after handeling there snakes I change and toss everything into the landry with color safe bleach. I fear the world around me and I dont trust other peoples snakes to not have mites or other buggies! EWWWWW!!! LOL and actualy I dont have OCD :giggles: .
