BP breathing weird and MITES!! Help
I bought a pastel today and me being as too excited for the snake didn't notice he had mites. So I took him back in, they cleaned him but I insisted on a refund but of course they refused.(I picked it up for $50 that's probably why) anyway I took him into another reptile shop(prehistoric pets) and they seemed like they really knew wat they were doing they cleaned him again which I think is my main issue. Since I've brought him back right know he seems weird. He wasn't using any strength I guess u would call it? And his lower half was basically limp. Now I put him in the tank away from my other BP and he's just sitting there in the exact same position I put him in about 25 mins ago and he is breathing maybe every 45 seconds and they are big breaths. Plus he won't move! I'm thinking it could be all he went through today (being bought, treated, bathed, picked at from all the mites, me taking a lot of them out, and then again we took him for another cleaning (which again I think was my mistake)). Now he's in the tank and his breathing seems messed up as if he's taking huge breaths and not moving. Maybe it's just me panicking but my other BP she's breathing as in and out like normal. PLEASE HELP ME OUT! I'm kinda new to this stuff and I'm freaking out because I really don't want to lose this little guy.

No I have him in a separate tank he hasn't come in contact or even been in the other cage.

Hi,
Do you know what they used to treat the snake? If you roll him on his back does he right himself?
Re: BP breathing weird and MITES!! Help
I've seen neurological symptoms like these in puppies that have been treated by OTC flea preparations containing permethrin. What product was he "cleaned" with?

IIRC pyrethrin is more often the culprit. It's not the same as permethrin. Permethrin is found in PAM and the NIX/RID treatment people use for mites - though I don't use those on the snake either.

Permethrin has been the culprit in the puppies I have seen react...i was a dog groomer. It is very dangerous for dogs and reptiles alike, if not used correctly.
