swollen head, recessed eyes caused by mites?
http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...en-this-before
my lesser male has the same symptoms - swollen head, no signs of RI, mouth inside and out looks good except the jaw doesn't sit flush on one side due to the swelling, eyes look shrunken due to swelling around them - my question is i heard that swollen head can be caused by not only nose rubbing, but mites burrowing into the skin around the eye sockets? anyone heard this or know better? a few in my collection had mites a few months ago and i treated all of my snakes several times.
