i never had the cage dirty i spot cleaned it all the time i never took them anywhere other than my house so i figure the pet stores rats where house in with the snakes they had maybe a mite or 2 was out wondering around and when i took it home and gave it to my boas which sometimes would not eat there rat for days got on and did its thing.
snake mites dont live around here and they dont just creat themselves its the only logical conclusion i came up with

i did everything you 2 just said i swear to god! the mites just would not go away i tried everything i could read of or was told to do by my vet.

sweet thx this is why i love this site i wish i had found this site back in the day,so many good people with helpfull info.
the reason i had gotten for the mite shot was to poisen the snakes blood so the bugs would drink eat and die or lay infertal eggs....this inccdent scared me right of of owning reptiles for 10 years untill my neighboor which had just moved in with their 8 foot boa which looked just like mine and after a few months of pure jellousy i just had to get "bella" my new baby girl i still think i got the mites from a mite hitching a ride on a live rats back to my place now i feed nothing but prefrozen food just to be safe
