Even if IBD wasn't a risk in her collection, shouldn't she shut down ANYWAY because of the mites?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If I'm reading it right, there's been mites in her collection on and off
since early 2009, and the mites are
STILL a problem. Makes me wonder if they've been there all along.
I know mites are a biotch to get rid of, but there's NO excuse for this problem to be ongoing for that long.
If the snakes have mites, you shouldn't be dragging them out every other day for photos, and dragging them off to pet stores for "reptile education"

I completely understand the anger & frustration on Adrya's part. She has been experiencing all of this firsthand in her own collection.
This is certainly NOT the first place all this was brought out, it's been mentioned several times over the last couple of years, and callously ignored, and business as usual...
I seriously doubt the selling/acquiring is over. I think it's a compulsion based on things I've read. I'm not doc, so it's just my opinion.
What a mess.
