Are they naturally resistant to mites, possibly due to the scale shape or some other factor that makes them less appealing? Has anyone else noticed this who may have dealt with mites at some point? Just curious.

Posted - 20/09/2011 : 09:22:11 Interesting question, and I really don't know the answer. The scales on hoggies are keeled and generally rougher than those you get on other snakes, but I would have thought that mites would be too small for that to make a difference. Has anyone here ever had mites on their hoggies??
