Mites?
Hello, all! I was recently catching some sun with my hypo BCI when I noticed a tiny little bug crawling on my boa. I flicked it off, and that was that. But when I was changing Nagini's water, I noticed she has tiny little bugs in her water bowl. I thought they were specs, at first, but upon closer examination they were indeed bugs. I have no idea where she could've gotten mites from-- I purchased her from someone I know/trust at Repticon, so I don't think she would've knowingly sold me a boa with mites. None of my other snakes have mites, and they are quarantined in a different room, so I don't think that's the case. I do let her slither in the grass when it's nice and sunny out, do you think that could be the cause?
Also, anyone have any home remedies for mites? I want to avoid chemicals if possible. Thanks!
