Little about my snake.

I got my ball python around January funerary he was about 5-7 months old? (he was still a baby when i got him). He eats great, 1 mouse a week. (Hasn't given up a meal yet.) He is well tempered, around everyone in my family. (no bites, or attempted bites.) he shed shortly after i got him, 2-3weeks after i got him, first shed didn't come off in one piece. (humidity problem, it is solved now.). now, lets fast forward April, he shedded again, it came all off in one piece, no problems. then end-beginning of march he got mites. (I got em from the pet store). I didn't have the mite medicine for him. So i went to my local pet store to see if they have any remeditys for him. The guy behind the counter suggested soaking him in mineral water. Without researching if it was a good idea, I soaked him. (march 4th?) fast forward a week, I noticed him not being well rounded, and some of his scales are falling off.

He use to be rounded (firm) but now hes triangle, and mushes, also I noticed some of his scales falling off, or I think they are. I still see the outline of the scales when they come off.



I'm taking him to a walk in vet on Tuesday. to see if I can do anything for him.
I'm just wondering what I can do for him now. his last feed was Monday, I'm thinking about skipping his meal this week, or until after the vet check up.
