My BP had alot of mites on him, I mean ALOT, and the vet that i was taking him to during when he had RI told me to just kinda massage him with mineral oil to drown our the mites, I did so, but i became worried cause of his heat lamps, I figure if I rub my self with oil lol and site directly under the sun i will burn pretty fast, after realizing that i took him out and tried to get as much of the oil off as possible, I noticed about three days later that the scales on his spine area had lightened and he had begain to shed but he shed individual scales and they still had some color to them, anyone know whats the cause of that? <- loltaz lol
