I am new at keeping snakes as pets, and just read the thread on mite spray. What i am wondering and hoping to get some info on ,is,
1. how often should you spray for mites.
2. I occasionly give them a run on the grass for about ten minutes every 3 or so days, or especially if it looks like they gonna crap (saves cleaning Up, and gives them some UV), will they pick up mites here?
This subject has been on my mind and that last thread prompted me to ask

1.Never (I would though if they ever got mites).
2.Possible but unlikely (unless wild snakes with mites frequent your yard).

does that poop thing work?? coz the small in a hot cage can be pretty bad! I would still change the newspaper obviously but to just give it a bit of a hose on the lawn would help

You need to get rid of mites with a spray, just use TOD and use it sparingly. Check out some other threads on here and go by the suggestions.
