Some people should be strung up...
Ugh, Someone posted in my reptile group today that their roomate had moved out and abandoned 2 "red tails". they could barely stand to be in the same room as them so they were taking basically any offer. 2 red tails 2 tanks, accessories and 2 heat mats for $80. Hopped in the car and went over. How the **** do people live like that... after moving all of their stuff out the place was still a **** hole. I figured it would be bad and at first glance i was kinda surprised, one was a late 2013 and looked in good shape, the other was a 2012 i think and had clearly not shed well for a while. But it wasnt until i picked her up that i noticed she was COVERED in mites, big ones too, i have had mites once before but these were very well fed.
at the end i took them out of pity, and one of the tanks which is now on the porch to freeze for a week or so, along with all of my clothes i was wearing and my winter boots which have now been retired for the year. I am about to cover myself in garbage bags and start the fun! Fortunately i have dealt with mites before but never this bad, they are quarantined and are getting the first of many mite baths in a few minutes. I will take some pictures as i go but since my computer is in the reptile room im not coming in and out until im 100% done.
Wish me luck.
