damn!
pesky little buggers
after I cleaned and treated her and her tank I did a complete strip-down and shower myself because I'm so paranoid to spread them now
part of me wanted to clean that entire part of the house, but I just don't have the energy and it's probably not necessary
Just a suggestion I had thought to share. I wash my hands in between handling each new snake. Just 1 of these little buggers on your hand from one snake will attach itself to the next one. If they are in seperate cages, you've just infected the rest. Just my opinion.
