    Ahh! MITES!
    WTH! I just checked on my bp, and she has mites!
    How does that even happen? She was fine two days ago.
    I took everything out of her enclosure and have her on some paper towel, plus
    I bought her some mite spray off amazon.
    Any advice on what else I need to do to for her is more than welcome. I feel so bad for her! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...184db2fee0.jpg

    Where did you get her from? How long ago?

    did you add anything new? Go to a local shop?

    Yes it’s an old photo[emoji22] my poor little lady! Thank you for linking the thread.
    As far as the mites go, I haven’t touched any other snakes or been to a pet shop. I did buy her a hide that was made of bark. Could that have been it?

    hm...

    there's just not enough info to conclude where the mites came from. all you need to worry about now is the war! read up on mite treatments and let us know if you have more questions.
