things are a bit grim (grit your teeth and get on with it) right now
both Mikhaila and I have an upper respiratory flu thingy
except she gets to stay at home and I'm at work

yesterday I found mites in one of my tanks and now I'm wondering who else has got them
I've been very careful since the last episode and hadn't seen any evidence for at least a couple of months
this time it's Casey Jones, the western hognose, and he didn't even get them last time
hopefully I caught it in time and there won't be any spreading to other enclosures

work is totally boring
I don't even know why they need me here
I should have stayed in bed
I guess I would have, but they only pay me when I show up
it's so unfair

Sorry the two of you are feeling bad with the flu, Rhea.
Did you ever try the Hartz flea and tick powder for cats that was mentioned in an earlier thread? I tried it and had fantastic results. Got rid of all mites in one treatment, no re-occurance and no ill effects on the Garters.
Good luck.
