i always know it would happen someday, but all the years that i have been keeping herp i have never had mites. wen i got back home from work the other day. i was looking some of the baby's over and found some. so far it has just been in one tank, but that tank was in my snake room so we will see. i got so provent-a-mite on the way so hopefully i will get it taken care of before it get bad. like some of the horror story's i have heard about them.
