actually i am 100% sure that the mites are not from another snake in my collection. i understand that sometimes you can never be sure of anything but in this case i am sure of something.

thanks for the responses guys. i have been reptile-reliefing the tubs for now until i can get some provent-a-mite. the infestation has not been bad but it has moved to a couple other tubs. it seems to be declining but im sure once i get them all sprayed with PAM i should have nothing to worry about!

i haven't contacted the breeder because i dont know exactly what that is going to solve but i will let him know next time i see him.

thanks again!
