    Re: Multiple species in one enclosure

    The radix is alive and on his way back to Florida herps. It turned out that they sent me the wrong snake and admitted to making a mistake. Unfortunately the radix was wild collected and came with mites. I noticed the problem before it spread to my other snakes so it turned out the best it could. They offered to send me the correct snake free of charge, but at this point I had had enough and just told them to refund my money.

    thanks albert. I passed up scotts trio when he posted them and now im kicking myself in the butt because of it. the female he sold was het albino and dropped a small litter of 3 axanthic one normal het and a albino the albino was a stillborn but proved she was het. I tracked down all axanthics and there is not a lot out there and even fewer are breeding.
    im only missing 2 radix to make my radix collection complete and that's dodge co. albinos that jeff has and steves b&w. once I get them I can die a happy herper until a new morph is found of coarse lol

    sorry to hear about the mites. I had mites last year from a purchase of 4 radix. one died. I used provent-a-mite as steve said and followed the directions and vacuumed twice a day and cleaned cages every day and still treat the bedding once a month. once I seen one it only took a day or 2 before I seen them on some of the others. they all got a soak in diluted betadine solution for the lil bites they had and I only seen a couple after i initially noticed them after 2 days of cleaning/soaking/treating I never seen a mite again. as steve said you have to be very aggressive cause they are aggressive. you can even transfer them to someone elses collection from your body or expos. the main thing I kept seeing when reading was that you cant kill the eggs without harming your snakes so they must hatch first and provent-a-mite lingers and kills them when they hatch its effective for up to 3 weeks I think. really great stuff even if you don't have mites as a preventative measure
