On another thread, someone said that snake mite infections are something that everyone gets. I don't have them now, but would like to know if they could also infect crested geckos, chahoua geckos, leopard geckos, or bearded dragons. I was planning to move the bps into the gecko room after they're done with quarantine, but if this is a possibility, I'll need to think of another plan.
Next question--I just gave Brickle his rat. He is one greedy ball python, and from the minute he smells rats nearby, he's moving around and periscoping until he gets his rat. He strikes incredibly fast, so I always use long feeding tongs. I brought the rat in from the opposite side of his cage, and he grabbed it and fell into his water dish wrapped around the rat with a really strong grip on it. I was afraid of him getting water into his lungs and getting an RI, so I put the tongs under him and moved him. He was still curled around the rat. Do I need to worry about this?
Also--what do you think of the name Callista for my normal girl? The name means most beautiful one, and I think she is very pretty and love her colors and markings, even though I'm guessing many bp people probably wouldn't look twice at a normal.
Thanks!
Edited to add: I just checked Brickle. He ate his rat and is keeping an eye on the one that's warming up for Bubbles.
