Hello- so my snake I recently got a week ago has mites. I did a lot of research online. Last week for 3 days I did the olive oil rub. I saw that online and read that it worked for some people's But it didn't get rid of them all. So last night I got some of the natural chemistry reptile spray. I've also read a lot of reviews on that. That people have have that work great and has gotten rid of them with the first try. So this morning I sprayed a paper towel with it and wiped him down,trying not to get his head. Then I sprayed his tank with it- let it sit a few min and then wiped it out.
I then soaked him for a few min in warm water as I was that spray can dry them out and some people suggested soaking them after.
So after his soak I dried him and was handling him and saw a mite in his head what can I do about that? The bottle says not to use on their heads but that's where the mites are retreating to? And he absolutely hates his head messed with. I tried to get that mite I saw off his head but he flipped out and I ended up not see where the mite went.
So I don't know what to do.
He doesn't have an infestation- just a small case of a few mites. This is my first snake. So it's all a learning process for me....
Also- he was fed on Tuesday of last week. Should I have seen him poop or pee by now? I'm just worrying that something's wrong...or is this normal?
Thanks
