Ahh!! Mites!!
You know, I always thought I was ready should my collection be blessed with mites. However, you really dont think of all the different things that could happen. I have a 7 foot BCI in a 6.5 foot tank. Let me tell you this is a REAL pain to clean. So far, I have taken her out of the enclosure. She has had 3 baths: one in hand soap and water, one with golden listerine and water and another with nix and water. I filled up the HUGE tank with 3 inches of water then sprayed down the walls. Ive replaced the substrate with newspaper. So far I have not encountered any problems. However, the boa was in shed. With all this bathing, her skin has started to come off in the middle of her body. Is this a problem?
