Mites that might not

[grahamh]

I've got a question about mites.

Does anyone know if the red spider mites that I've just found in my vegie garden can transfer to a reptile (snake) host. I seem to have rather a lot on my beans (which are ready to be pulled out anyway).

Haven't got a clue mate sorry but I reckon you'd need a hell of a lot of "Top of Descent" to spray ya beans!

No. Very different little buggers. Nothing to worry about. Well nothing for your snakes that is. I would still be careful with anything you bring into close proximity to your snakes, because if you see one type of bug, chances are there are more.

Thanks team - :shock:

yup, mites in the garden aren't the same - i know i'd never use the stuff we sell at work to kill spider mites to kill mites if my snakes got em hehe
