Omg mites burn everything

I was just about to post this. It sounds like you might be hallucinating. One way to check for the mites pretty definitively is to brace your snakes head and spread the cleft under its chin open. If it has mites, there will be some in there.

Don'y buy snakes off craigslist, research the seller, check the animal when it enters your collection, keep it quarantined away from the other animals.

Thoroughly check the animal for mites, find a way to magnify and look at the specks you're seeing, seek out cheap, local alternatives to exterminate the mites. They're not 'spawn of the devil' - they're just bugs. As a complex, intelligent, scientifically advanced species it is easy for us to defeat bugs.

Cancel your credit cards, order replacements, call the admin and get a new school ID, call the RMV and get a new license.

All of these bad things are in your own personal control - take some small immediate steps and keep taking them until everything is resolved. Faith has nothing to do with these problems and will not resolve them for you.

Interesting, I had no idea that banana BP's became speckled as they aged. Learn something new every day!

And I have been freaked out in the past when looking at the freckles on my boas, and thinking they were mites. Once bitten, twice paranoid...

I don't blame the OP at all for being concerned since she has a Burm - that is a lot of snake to have to treat, even preventively.

Wow, I really don't appreciate your comments on my usage of Faith. I have had a really hard week. Faith has everything to do with how I handle and resolve my issues. Take your discrimination, your crap, your advice, and your love for "the spawn of the devil"- or advanced creatures somewhere else. Maybe I didn't mention how I became so stressed.
My wallet has been stolen. I was robbed at gunpoint for my wedding ring. My anxiety medications as well- STOLEN with my purse. All I have to my name are my snakes and ramen, oh and the small amount of gas in my car.
You want to bash Faith?
Get out of my forum post. You are literally the LAST piece of help I need.
You make me sick.

I dont think anyone directly bashed you, and taking your frustration out on everyone trying to help you isnt going to get you further either, we are all here trying to help and ONLY KNOW what was told. So to then jump the gun and throw even more at us as if we were spectators is unfair, Again we all hope you and your snakes get better, Have you also QT the banana as they will SPREAD to all the others...

Corbin, it was directed at an isolated comment. See above. Not all of yours. Almost all of yours were so very, very helpful!


EDIT: I quarantined all the animals early this morning. They are separated in entirely different rooms. Completely new tubs. I cleaned every part of the apartment.

Okay, sorry I exploded. It's been a very hard week. Not fair on you all. The Faith comment was literally the last straw though. Completely immature and unnecessary.
I have come to believe it was just a stray mite and for the most part, the spots are just 'nana spots. Thanks so much for the advice from most of you.
Here is a picture of my 'Nana, he appreciates you all very much.

I didn't bash your faith, I gave you advice on how to resolve and prevent your problems. You posted in a public forum asking for advice from people who feel they're in a position to give it. I assume this means you are in a position to receive and act upon the advice you solicited. My life hasn't been sunshine and puppies forever - it takes WORK to improve your condition. All of the issues you've mentioned in the thread are not catastrophic and are preventable. You should take the opportunity to reflect on how they can be prevented next time. When the going gets tough, the tough do something about it. You took action and, sure enough, things are getting better. Congrats!

:D Thank you, thank you, thank you.



(Continuing EDIT: No one ever believes he is a banana spider, so I showed him compared to his brother because I know I will get heat :/ Whatever.

Are you saying yours is a Banana Spider? No Spider in your snake.
