Soo freakin pissed off.

[dball]

When I bought my snake I fed live mice. Now I have the pet store kill them then I take it home stick it in the freezer thaw it the next day then feed my bp. Was out of town this weekend and didn't have time to let the mouse freeze over night. Picked up a mouse yesterday afternoon, stuck it in the freezer for an hour or more, then thawed it for a while. I always take my bp out and handle her for a good half hour to get her moving before I feed her. In the meantime I let the mouse warm up under the heat lamp. Before I feed her I also line the enclosure with paper towels to avoid her feeding on her aspen substrate.

So to the point I put her in the enclosure on the paper towels. Then using my tongs Iput the mouse in and dragged it around til she bit and constricted it. As she was getting it positioned I noticed TWO LITTLE BLACK THINGS CRAWLING ON THE MOUSE. It was a white mouse but they were still hard to see. I picked them off with my fingers before my girl got the mouse down. Those were the only two I saw. I didn't see any on the paper towels either. Now I am terrified my snake might have mites. I am also ready to go back to the store and break the guys jaw that sold it to me. Damn I am so mad and scared for my girl.

Do you think there is a good chance she will have mites now?

Does freezing kill mites if the mouse has them on it?

Thanks for listening and I hope you guys are a little more optimistic about this than I am right now.
