New addition - Morelia Bredli python

Someone on here used predatory mites. No personal experience but I like the idea of a non chemical treatment

Personally, I haven't had to deal with mites yet, but after reading a few posts here and there about snakes dying after using things like Provent-a-mite, I'll be picking up the predatory mites despite their cost.

Another thing to remember about pet shows...even if your pet doesn't have mites, you yourself can pick them up and become a carrier, after handling other reptiles with mites at the show, and you can bring them home with you. You won't get bitten, but they'll move into your snake cages.

There are some breeders that I've listened to that go through a "decontamination" routine when going back home to ensure that they don't bring anything unwanted with them. I'll remember that when I go to my next show.

I read some people saying that too. We all wore short sleeved shirts and I brought my own sanitizer that we used often
