I added a new snake to my collection a couple months ago, and like an a$$, I didn't quarantine it. Someone suggested they could have come in on aspen, but I only buy sealed bags of it. I haven't handled another snake outside my collection of six in a very, very long time.



I am at a loss. That was my favorite snake, and i should have been more aware. it was my intentional "letting him be his reclusive self" that kept me from handling it very often. In hindsight, that could have been it's demise. There were a LOT of mites in the paper towel I wrapped him in before throwing it in the freezer. I originally thought it might have been compaction, but when I took it out of the freezer to show my daughter, that is when I noticed the "crawlers"
