As above really.
I fed Sabre her rat tonight and as she munched it i saw a small tiny microscopic sized "thing" which i can only describe as a dust mite.
Light sand in colour, not black and extremely small.

I quickly moved her to a a spare rub thats setup up for such occasions whilst i set about cleaning her viv.
I cleaned it throughly with Milton (only thing i could get my hands on this time of night as i'd run out of normal cleaner)

I did give her a good check, or as much as i could as she'd only just eaten.


Whats the next thing to look out for? I can't say she has changed in mood or even habit.

Any tips? experience? Good knows where they came from.
I will do all 3 tommorrow as a precaution

NO they were much smaller than that.
