I have had no problems with mite transmission. When I catch wild lizards I first examine them with a 30 x handheld microscope for mites or ticks. Then I give them a bath in Reptile Relief. I also breed them, and have a colony of cb fencies which have never been exposed to any type of parasite.

The only time I have ever had a mite problem was when I rescued the little Cal king from the cat, and he had snake mites, but the Reptile Relief fixed that pronto. Some permethrin sprayed around his cage as well.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.
