I just got back from a four day trip to the beach last night. I found mites all over my yeearling Colombian male. I went to the local pet shop looking for Prevent-A-Mite, but all that they had was Zoo Med's "Mite Off". I Put him in a rubbermaid, sprayed him thoroughly, let him sit, added water and let him soak for a while. I set up a different cage for him which I cleaned out and sprayed with Mite Off. I put paper towels in for substrate, a bowl of water and a new hide. It is about 90 in the cage, and I have been changing the water everytime I walk by the cage and seee mites in it. He still has mites crawling around on him, although there were a lot in the rubbermaid I put him in and have been a lot in his water.
I want to make sure that I have done everything I can.
I also am wondering where these things come from, my ball pythons did not get them, and I havent gotten any new animals, and he didnt have them when i left for my trip. Can they come from mice?

Thanks A Lot
Sorry for the long post
