Am I correct in thinking that a snake can catch snake mites from substrate that is sold specifically for reptiles. (Surely not)
Do I need to put my reptile substrate (aspen) in the oven to be safe.

if you buy your substrate from a safe source, then there should be absolutely no parasites in it. however, you can oven it to put your mind at rest!
