Well I know you have had Thelma for quite awhile and have not brought in any wc's right?
The reason I ask is all the reseach I have done on mites in the past couple months one of the things that can take place is repeated sheddings, one after another, this is a natural body defense(kinda cool) it tries to rid itself of the bothersome nasty little buggers.

No new additions to the family, the only change is a new flourescent/halogen hood combination. Which provides UVA/UVB plus heat within their normal range, she doesn't seem to be under any stress and nothing has been seen crawling in the cage aside from Thelma, Louise, and Bugsy.
