So, I went into my girl Eleanor's tub tonight to check on her (she's due to lay eggs like, any second now) and she had the back half of her body twisted so I could see her stomach. I noticed one of her scale was raised quite a bit, so I grabbed some tweezers to pull what I thought was a piece of bedding out. Instead I pulled out a nasty, giant, tick. My first reaction was to get the itchies and freak out about snake mites, because I treated everyone for it not too long ago, but then realized it was a tick, not snake mites. It was about the size of a kernel of popcorn, round, orange face, blue body. I squeezed it and stuck it in a ziploc, just in case.
Anyways, a dog tick on my poor ball python? I can only assume it came in on my dogs or me, but my dogs are treated regularly and are up to date on all that stuff soooooo yeah. In any case, everyone's getting a thorough checking over tomorrow.
I threw some non pain reliever neosporin on the spot, since it was bleeding a little.
