Side note:
is it really possible for RI to be passed inter-species? I have never even considered that.

RI's can't (trust me, I've got a FeLV+ cat, i know most of the inter species diseases). Certain mites can though, I believe.

From what I have read on other forums some people truly believe an ri can pass from snakes to lizards or vice versa. Others think it is hogwash. I am not sure as I have never worried about other herps.

Actually I believe snake mites can only affect snakes but not lizards or turtles.

There's other types of mites that snakes can get though, right? I could be way off...xD
