Tick on Ball Python?? What to do?
I was just in checking on my snakes before turning the lights out for the night and noticed what looks like a small tick on one of my girls. Its greay with the darker area by the head of it. What do I do? Fleas and ticks are a big problem in the area of Texas I am in right now do to the fact that we had no winter. My reptile room is right next to my grooming room so I can only guess that a client dog brought it in. I never would of thought about a tick traveling to the reptile area, and going for a snake rather than a warm blooded critter. Or a mouse could have brought it in??? I am in the country and no matter what I do wild mice are a fact of life I could live without. So do I use tweezers and pull it off? What do I do and what can I used to prevent this from happening again?
