    Is he going into a shed cycle? If not then you just might have MITES .Thats the only reason i have ever had a snake go into the water bowl.

    He had mites, I sprayed once now I'm waiting a week before I spray again if I see anymore. also he hasn't shed since I got him 3 weeks ago, he has some white , like skin when you are going to peel, on his head, but his eyes aren't blue yet???

    If you are using Reptile Relief, he still has mites.

    Not if he treated the whole enclosure and the snake.When i used reptile relief it killed them on contact.Of course you have to treat everything every 2 or 3 days to make sure you kill all the eggs and new ones.It made me mad when they stopped selling it localy here .The stuff i have on hand now just incase a new snake has mites is a real killer on contact .
