I bought a boa with mites...would you trust the same facility?

As I posted before, my snake has mites. I will definitely try the Prevent a Mite (thanks).

I have another quick question.
I bought the boa online in December from a store in Florida. Do you think the mites most likely originated from there?
Finally, would you trust purchasing another snake from that facility?

Please let me know...I was thinking of investing hundreds to buy a "hypo."

Thanks,
Peter

Well Hard to say. Was it WC or CB? W/ wild caught, id assume it would have mites even if it was stated he didnt. If it was "just" mites and the quality of the animal is great, then i'd just treat it for mites, and hed be on wis way. There are many breeders(reputable) out there. Stick w/ them.
