Wanna be water snakes

Yeah, mites was my guess, too. But let's see if they use the hides after a few days.

Are they just in the water, or are they wrapping the bowl, too?

Sometimes when they have mites, they will soak a while and then go to their hide and repeat this process. I would look them over well, mainly around the head.

Yes I am using provent-a-mite not cooking spray;) I haven't seen any mites but then again I've never seen a mite so if someone wouldn't mind sharing a description or a pic that would be great. The smaller one is now using the hide and here is a pic of the larger one (2000 grams) chillin in her bowl.[IMG]http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...ater_snake.jpg[/IMG]

If it is mites... how long does provent a mite take to rid these guys of mites? How long should I use Provent a mite for and when can they come out of quaratine and any other tips? Thanks
