And from the youtube page...

Don't put it into trees outside either, unless you like her having mites & ticks.
I have read both your post and your comment on his youtube video multiple times, and I don't feel like I'm saying the same thing as you. I didn't stoop to calling this person an idiot based on an assumption that he doesn't care about his bp.

Also, I don't feel that it's a matter of "wise up and use frozen/thawed". Without turning this thread into another f/t vs live thread, there are several keepers who are "wise" and still feed live without issue. Also, keeping with the educate rather than flame thing I've got going, a snake may pick up a tick from being placed in a tree, this is true. Mites on the other hand live off the blood of snakes and will not survive without it, so unless you're putting your bp in a tree that is inhabited by a mite infested snake, I find it highly unlikely that a bp is going to get mites from it.

Also, I did go back to the youtube video and post a comment referencing this site. Even if he doesn't join and educate himself, we now know that the information is available and has been pointed out to him. If he has the information this readily available and still doesn't make use of it, the guy is an idiot... LOL
