and then....there was quarentine...

[forkedtongue]

oh sigh.......


and the other sad one




Found mites on em...sigh, getting some nix right now........

Ive never had mites on any of my snakes, im not sure exactly how a snake GETS mites, anyone???...

Is it from the substrate or what?

[stephanbakir]

Its contracted from other reptiles, or anything the other reptiles with mites came in contact with.

[forkedtongue]

Weird, I don't know how the heck they would have gotten it unless they had it when I got em. Odd. So once I get through treating them and get ther vivs back in shape is there chances of mites again if they are clean and not in an around other reptiles?

[Lankyrob]

If you have been somewhere that there is reptiles you could have bought them back to your place on your clothes or a friend could have bought them in from their collection@?

[forkedtongue]

Wow really? I mean I go to apet store pretty often to look at chondros and what not. Other than that my snakes are never around other reptiles or anything else that I could think of that would be able to give them mites

[Lankyrob]

If i go places where there are reptiles apart from my local shop i change my clothes immediately that i return home and put thme straight into the wash.

[forkedtongue]

I'm going to start doing that, I had no idea mites could be transmitted so easily..

i thought i was being paranoid going through the same measures,with the addition of going straight in the shower after getting naked

the one downside is,our washing machines downstairs in the kitchen,our showers upstairs in the bathroom

before you say it greg i know.....

naked scotsman padding about the house is not a pretty sight

Hilarious Shaun! (Not the image I wanted in my head though.)

To the OP, I'm sorry you have mites. I make an extreme effort to touch nothing if I am forced to visit a pet shop. Also, not a SINGLE person other than my girlfriend can lay a finger on my snakes. 15+ years of keeping and never had mites...(knocks on wood).

I'd suggest PAM for treatment and preventative measures. Good luck!

Its hot given the right conditions.

Not complaining. I'm just glad you take off your clothes before showering. Scots been known to do crazy things.
