Please help, multiple problems.
The first problem I have is today after holding my BP I saw 2 black mites crawling on my hand, and of course I saw more in his tank after noticing this.
What products do you personally recommend to clean his enclosure, and for his body as well. (I am so angry, I know that the mites must have come with him from the pet store as I've only had him a few weeks, and he's only eating f/t and his aspen substrate was fresh from the bag, and the enclosure was brand new (and I cleaned it thoroughly before setting it up).
Second problem, I have him in a glass tank at the moment, but it's too hard to regulate the temps in there, the cool side gets down to 74 at night and I need to fix that so tomorrow I'm going to buy a new enclosure. A tub with newspaper as substrate, any idea on how to keep the tub raised up for the UTH without having a full rack system?
Third maybe problem, sometimes when I take him out he makes a squeaking noise, it's not every time I take him out, but it's not constant, and I've never heard him make the noise while in his enclosure. Is this a sign of something worse, RI? Or could it just be excitement/scared because he is in a new environment.
I want him to be as happy and healthy as possible so tomorrow morning I'm going to spend as much money as I need to fix these things. Do you think I should take him to a vet as well? Don't judge me too harshly.
Edit: I should have known there would be problems, this pet store is cheap and shady, but when I saw him in a clear on all sides enclosure with no hide, a tiny water holder, he was very skinny and unhappy, I had to rescue him.
