My box turtle that I've had for thirty three years somehow got mites. I don't know how, but she did. I gave her a bath, emptied her tank, and sanitized it with bleach. Put fresh bark in, and wiped her down with jerasimite. She seems to be mite free a week later. I'll keep inspecting, but for now she seems to be mite free I also poured about an inch wide line of borax around the outside base of the tank to discourage any nasty critters from climbing in.
