The ONLY time I ever had mites in my house was a batch of feeder Anoles.
I fed a couple to one of my Black Racers, (I had two at the beginning) and about 3 days later I found my black racer dead and swarming with mites. They were in it's nostrils, the vent was a black stripe of mites, they were everywhere. I carried the whole cage outside and hosed it out in my driveway.
Thankfully Toby did not feed from those Anoles.
Never again, ever..... Rodents are safer. hands down.
