Any advice 4 a new snake owner. About a week ago I purchased a 2 mo old bp. After having the snake, "Genesis", 4 a few days I noticed mites crawling around on her. Come to find out, the pet store sold me a piece of furniture that had been infested. I've done all the recommended steps to rid her & her environment of these pests! But now she is losing individual scales! Help! I believe she has proper warmth & humidity. And I've done my share of research! I just want my new baby to be healthy and happy!
