well.. I think I got them ... now the waiting begins... i'm really suprised at how well this little guy is holding up (the stress of the new home.. the treatment.. not to mention the little blood suckers)... And after all that he actually ate something (2nd day home!). I soaked him for about half an hour in soapy water (after a few times in a bath of Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and then afterwards I looked him over very carefully for mites, I think there may be one inside eye socket.. kinda.. well it might not be a mite, I'll have to see if it gets any bigger, if it does i will try to remove it. with some gental rubbing I got some of the leftover mites off of him (they where already dead...) So now he is in a freshly cleaned tank (10% bleach solution) with a top of a cereal box with a hole cut out for a door and a water dish with no crevases for mites to hide (he's on paper towel) I hope this is the last of those darn mites!
