Those aren’t chocolate chips... COOKIE!

[Phillydubs]

Sooooo, a day I was hoping never happened is...

My newly acquired carpet python has mites ... :/

I noticed her begin soaking about 5 days ago. She is due for a shed so I didn’t pay much attention.

I tried to feed her on Monday and she has been eating 2 pretty items. Usually with ease an quick. It took her a bit and she took the first one but refused the second. Yesterday I took her out rubbed her down w paper towels and sure enough I found a few mites.

Now she’s in a different house in an area with only one other snake that was moved there and to a new cage.

I decide to try the frontline treatment. I’ve watched a few videos and a helpful moderator here was very insightful on it and I appreciate the post to begin with and the help.

Have to report the good with that bad around here. It’s the only way anyone ever learns. I will let you all know how she does and what the results are and maybe it can and will help another down the line.

I think she was sent to me with eggs embedded or just a few and now they are hatching I had her on paper the first few weeks and saw nothing until this week.

Chocolate chips are SO much better, let's hope those nasty mites get what's coming to 'em!

Thank you all. I really appreciate the well wishes and kind words.

I just added the the water dish back because I was told to leave it out for 24hrs

she went right back in to soak poor girl. I hope it helps her soon
