I hope you guys are not disappointed in me. I noticed ticks in some of my snakes yesterday. I was noting how my baby bci had been soaking for two days. I soaked him in a small amount of soapy water, and found several medium ticks, as well as a few tinier ones, had come off and died in the water.
I really don't think they're mites. The small ones just look like tiny ticks.
I soaked my three bps also, in the soapy water, to see what came of it. Octavia had a few ticks, Ginger had one or two big ones, and goblin had none at all. I have Gobby in an area away from the oher three. I stripped each cage and trashed the aspen and relined with newspaper. I am getting the black knight stuff; my local pet store will have it for me today.
I am just so mad and discouraged. i hae no idea how they got into my house; maybe there were a few on Ginger, since he was a rescue case. But I had him in another room; I geuss that ticks can travel. I am thanking the snake gods that Gobby has none, and hoping that none will find him. Please, I need some support and a shoulder to bawl on!
