  1. omg, shake-n-bake method!!! I guess they don’t have “frontline” for chickens. Are those red mites the same ones you see crawling around in random places?

    When my snake had mites, I lay a pest strip (now banned) on the screen on top of her tank for a week. Those buggers hide under the scales.
