Actually, I've had my snake for over 6 months. The mites did NOT come from Petco...I'm 99.9% positive that the mites my snake got were from me not sanitizing my hands between handling the different snakes... MY bad, not Petco's...
I apologize for jumping to the Petco theory....my bad! I jumped because Petco is notorious for selling diseased and infected reptiles and I stand by my recommendation to purchase from a breeder and never from Petco.
