Can beardies get mites from snakes?

I'm really hoping they can't but I think my snake may have mites can they spread to my bearded dragons????? They are in the same room and are stacked on each other

Yes they definitely can. Make sure to check your dragons now from time to time. Are the mites red or a different color ?

Honestly I haven't seen anything on my snake but he soaks from time to time and I'm wondering if he has them or not

You can look for them around the head, eyes, mouth, etc. but could be other areas as well. Soaking wouldn't mean that your snake has mites though.

I looked at him and he seems perfect but I have too many animals and I can't risk a infestation. He soaked a bit the last 2 days but I changed his bedding vacuumed and did a look over and don't see anything. Was hoping it's perhaps a humidity thing so I went back up and changed to a wetter bedding

Yes they can. DO NOT ALLOW A VET TO INJECT YOUR BEARDIE WITH IVERMECTIN!! It is lethal!

I went to the vet and my snake had the all clear no mites detected so both my beardies and my ball python are good.

Thank you for the information too I'll make sure that doesn't happen
