Agreed. Im not sure if I just got lucky or if it was the Michigan weather but I never had mites on my snakes before the military, and after getting mites and reading into other diseases and such they can contract, Im done with petstores minus feeders when im in a bind, outside of that no thanks. From here on out Im sticking to people who specialize in a breed of snake and do it for a living, and even then the first thing that is going down when they come in the door is a nix treatment.
Grrrr, frustrating.
I dont expect someone to cover my bills, i guess thats what i get for not being thorough enough, I was just over come with "OMG CARPETS!" as they normally carry more of the Hots and the larger species of Boas and Pythons. Oh well, I still love my carpets to death and i dont regret getting them, I just feel bad that they were sitting in that display cage with mites for who knows how long.
The sad thing is, inside the cage were my 2 Carpets, a set of young IJ's and the GTP that died, when i went to the store last night to get some frozen feeders.....the little IJ's were gone too, and I dont think anyone bought them, i know they were force feeding them because they werent eating, so im guessing they are in snake heaven now too :/
