This is an interesting subject. I have never had mites on my montors. So I think your right about snake mites.



But, our local lizards, including geckos, commonly have a bright orange lizard mite. The bunch up in the folds around both front and back legs. But again, these native lizard mites have never colonized on our outdoor monitors either.



Are monitors mite proof? they do get ticks, that I know for sure. I have seen lots of ticks on wild monitors. But, only once many years ago, did I find a tick on one of our outdoor monitors. It could have transfered from a wild caught monitor(albigs) But that has been about it. Cheers
