So I have my second Ball python and I have been using Carefresh due to the scare of mites. I talked with a local enthusiast/breeder and he suggested cypress mulch. I asked about mites and he told me that the mulch is treated and he has no problems and he is housing over 70 snakes mostly corn and b.p.'s So I switch and im changeing water no more than a few days later and what do you know...... Bugs wherever there was water cause he told me I could wet down the mulch. So my question is are these mites???? They were REALLY small whitish bugs and I am not sure what mites look like. I have been dealing with reptiles in small numbers since I was 2 so not a newbie by anymeans but also not a breeder/expert. Any advice will be very helpfull. Also I NEED my humidity up. I have tried the washcloth/moss in the tupperware container and no luck. Im uneasy about misting do to the Carefresh molding. Any other suggestions? And for my info I have my b.p. in a 55 gal glass aquarium and yes he loves it it is NOT too big. He is over 2000 grams and over 4 1/2 ft. long. Thank you for any advice and help-Ray
