Posted by: herpenthusiast at Tue Jun 22 16:08:00 2010 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by herpenthusiast ] Reptile mites are not species specific, but they are reptile specific. If there are a lot of wild reptiles in your yard, then your beardie may pick up mites. They can't travel very far without eating. Here in south florida there are cuban anoles literally swarming most backyards, so mites are an issue. I used to keep an iguana outside and it would pick up mites, but it had access to a small pool where it could completely submerge, so they never became an infestation. Wild herps are able to control mites because they have a broader range of temps, humidity, diet, etc. available to them. Captive herps depend on us to keep the parasites at bay. | ||
