Mites?
EEK!
Luci is getting ready to shed and I noticed today while she was soaking a few little black dots on her. One was moving around on her but I got it and smooched it.
Are they mites? If so what is a good spray to use to free her from them?

Re: Mites?
If you already found a moving one that is most likely another going under the scale.
Provent-A-Mite for teh w1n! Follow the directions on the can - it's a lot of text but important that you read through all of it.
Looks like you already have her on a light colored substrate to keep em visible (and leuci surely helps!) - how about the other snakes? Have you got her quarantined?

Re: Mites?
Where can I get this stuff at?
All three of them share the same container I feed them in.... So I guess I should get everyone. Just to be on the safeside, right?

I read that as 'they are housed seperately but when fed in a seprate enclosure they take turns in the same one(?)' correct me if I am wrong.
Yep defintely get all three - they are much much harder to spot on BP's (any darker snake for that matter)
Not sure on shipping aerosols - we have it available at a local store (for the routine 800% markup hehe)

Correct.
I'll have to find a local store here in MD since I don't have a credit card so I can't order it off the internet. =/
