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.
