Iv'e had my columbian for about two months, and just found him covered in mites. What do I have to do to get rid of them from him, and the enclosure? Also, how can I prevent them from getting into other cages (blood, retic?) Did I do something wrong, or can I prevent this from happening again? I've had snakes for a few years, and have never had mites before. I'd really appreciate any help.
