ok becuase of it finally being nice outside, I have been bringing my bp out with me. I usually just sit on a lawn chair with her and have her crawl around. But every once in a while I see a tiny red bug crawl across my arm or on the chair. And when I put my bp back i her cage, I saw one of the tiny red bugs crawling across the screen on top of her aquarium. Are these little bugs bad for my snake. Also, I have been seeing these bugs outside for years now. Even before i got my bp. I just want to know if they are bad.

Tiny little bugs usually mean mites.

Tiny little red bugs usually means chiggers. Tea Time's post still applies (great link, TT).

When Ever I Take my Balls Out In The Lawn I Give Them A good Washing Before They Go Back In The Cage, Keeps Them Mite Free.

You Might Also Want To Treat You Lawn For Mites And Ticks Its Cheap If You Do It Your Self And It Works great....Just Remember Dont Take Your Ball Out For A Couple Of Weeks And Water Your Lawn Really Good On The Third Day Of Treatment.
