Re: Lori's snakes and such
If you have reason to beleive they have them, you might set them up in bare tanks with paper towels and cardboard hides, then get the mite treatment of your choice.
Then you can clean and dispose of everything every 5 days or so(follow the directions of the mite product) and retreat them.
The cage furnishings will need to be treated or cooked or something too.
Hopefully you dont have them though.
Wash your hands and arms between every animal. dont let them tough your cloths or anything else when handling. Good luck

Re: Lori's snakes and such
Its a pain in the butt, but it will all be ok, Lori. Calm down.

Re: Lori's snakes and such
I don't wanna either!!!! EWWWWWW... Ok, ok, it's just mites, it's not the end of the world. I can handle it. I'm not happy, but I can handle it.
Also---- one of the baby rat snakes regurged her pinky this morning. :-( She'd eaten it Sunday evening. I wonder if it was too big... these are large pinkies. I'm thinking-- wait a day or two, then offer her one chopped in half? Poor little thing...

TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
