Well folks I purchased my first BP a little more than a month ago at local reptile expo. I'd been waiting for quite some time to make my first buy, and after a recent surgery I felt I needed a recovery buddy😜 I was looking at all kinds of different morphs, but wasn't ready to shell out big bucks right before the holidays and such so I got a pretty good deal on what I was told is a lavender poss. Het male. So now the I have a couple recent issues I could use some prof opinions on. First of all I noticed over the weekend he had mites! I instantly soaked him, bleached his cage, and ordered provent-a-mite ( which should be at my doorstep this evening). Im not sure where they came from but was told possibly from his wood hides I bought, or his fuzzies? Can fuzzies carry mites? Also Tuesday during holding I noticed a popping sound when he breathes so now he's got an RI to boot! Instantly I called the local herp guy at the pet store ad he said I can rid it by bumping up the temp, and I also called the local herp vet and was told the same? He has no mucus or bubbles around his mouth or nose, but the piping sound hasn't gone away? Is it poss to clear an RI by doing this? Also he's been acting kind of strange. He stares at his heat light endlessly, and sometimes wobbles his head a little. Now I'm freaking myself out thinking he might have IBD. I'd really appreciated some help!
