my new burm looks like it has mites well it has mites but people have told me their are wood mites which are harmless and then i guess blood mites which use the snake as a host. now what im wondering is how i can tell if it is a wood mite or a blood mite (not sure what to call it) can someone give my some ideas..
sorry for the annoying question im sure you guys are sick of hearing it

Thanks,
John.
