noodles

[kimmeh]

hiiya Yep its me again, well anyway i lastnight i thaught, well let me take noodle out for a while, but then i seen something on him actually loads of things, looked like loads of sesemi seeds on him, FULL of mites, anyway we sorted that out, we bathed him in water and such like but now he had all dry skin coming off him....could that be that hes shedding and also could that mean that bathing him helped?

i also wanted to know when can he get picked up while or when hes shedding??? im sorry about this its because i got a scare when i seen all these mites it was sickening.....Kim

Do a google search for Provent-A-Mite and order a can as soon as you can. Bathing the snake is not going to rid him, or his environment, of mites

As for holding him, some of my snakes get a little more reclusive when in shed and so I don't bother them. I typically give them their space when they are doing this important job!!
