Okok so if a rat is carrying a bunch of mycoplasma, can it get snakes sick if it's eaten? I recently got a baby from a pet store as a pet and she came with mites and that was fine all we had to do was bathe her and the other girls but she actually ended up giving 2 girls very very bad respiratory infections that killed one of them and sent one of them to the emergency vet. And now she is getting sick as well. If the other babies in her bin are carrying the mycoplasma too, will they hurt whatever eats them??
