Annnd Once again, mites.

[Jax]

We have acquired a large male C. American RTB who is about 2 going on 3. Anyways, around late December of last year to early January this year he had a huge mite infestation crop up (we got him in June or July of 2014). This was our first ever experience with the. It took us probably weeks to finally treat him (prevent-a-mite, dish soap and a small drop of iodine for him. Complete furniture removal and disposal, mite off and vet grade disinfectant for his tank along with new bedding) but he was 100% mite free. Somehow is spread to our giant plated lizards twins and we fully treated them. Fast forward to now and poor Athos is completely infested again! We keep all of our tanks spotless and have regular bedding changes. Even the twins are starting to show signs again (no we never handled them at the same time). I know the neighbors below us keep birds...and I'm wondering if that is where the infestation is starting? I know they're supposedly two different species of mites but infestations are ONLY affecting our boa and our plated's. The crested and the beardie have remained 100% mite free Both times.

We're running out of ways to keep killing off mites. Does anyone have any advice or solutions: (?
