Glad she doesnt have mites!
A few months ago my biggest gopher Gonzo regurged a meal, which was very unusual for her. So I did an investigation of her habitat concerning the warm spot, using an infrared thermometer to make sure the temps were at the right place. I put two thermometer probes in that spot; one directly on top of the UTH and the other more where the snakes actually nests in the substrate over the UTH, and after raising the temps got it right. Before doing this I had thought her warm spot was adequate but it hadn't been, and when winter came it was not warm enough. She's warm and toasty now and no more regurge.
