So I'm thinking...a quarantine rack is kinda like a prison...and we don't want any convicted mites escaping our prison system...so how do we keep them isolated to the quarantine rack? What about a mini-Alcatraz?

In the Dark Ages, a king would isolate himself from invading forces by building a moat around his castle. Again...a mini-Alcatraz.

So how difficult would this idea be to implement in a small snake room?

If the base of my quarantine rack is...say...26"x20"...and I set the rack on a sheet of plywood...say...30"x24"...that would leave a two inch lip (plywood moat) that could be heavily treated with Provent-A-Mite. The only other escape route would be the electrical cord...which could also be treated. Or the plywood base could have a small hole drilled into it...where the electrical cord runs through. Then the electrical cord would run straight into the plywood moat. Hmm...

I'm just kinda thinking out loud here. Any ideas? Mites can't fly...can they?

Good Things,
Chris
