My hissers have many mites living on them, and they are very healthy so I leave them alone.
Since you mention mites, I was just curious if you ever find them in any of your other enclosures (i.e. spiders, reptiles)? As I understand it, they are harmless and specific to the roaches, but I just want to make sure they will not be a problem for my spiders and other insects. Sorry if this has been covered before. Thanks!
I don't, and if any mites get on me they don't bite, I heard they eat mold particles and debris on the roaches only.
