Problems caused by reptile mites

The name for mite infestations is (Acariasis.) The snake mite (Ophionyssus natricis) are one of the biggest killers of reptiles in captivity, which is a real tragedy. Mite infestations can be difficult to control, let alone eradicate. The mites feed from their host’s blood supply removing blood and vital nutrients leaving the reptile agitated and anaemic. This makes the reptile far more susceptible to illness, and as the parasites also introduce diseases into the snakes blood supply while feeding, the snake will eventually die. Parasites are conventionally controlled with toxic pesticides such as neonicotinoids and phyretroids, these chemicals however have side effects for the reptiles and the parasite builds resistance against it over time.
