If they aren't all over your snakes than they are just pests but probably harmless. Take a white cloth and run over a snake and see if there is black little bugs all over them? I have had wood chips that have had mites also and they didn't hurt my snakes at all, even thoigh I decllared war on them, lol. I had a muse colony years ago that was over run with some strange mites. They only gathered on the wooden frames. They seemed harmless too but I got rid of the colony took the racks outside sprayed it all down with bleach and started over again. Thank GOD I haven't seen them come back. No pest strips were the cure of choice when I was growing up. But They did nothing for the mouse colony mites. I believe they have changed the active ingredients over the years also, but not 100% sure. I do know many snake keepers fried their snakes by over exposing them to the potent strips for too long. I used to cut a piece about the width of my finger and about 2 inches long. Placed it on top of screen and in two days all mites would die. Don't know if they are still effective? | ||
