I've had my snake for awhile now, his husbandry is exactly where it needs to be, no health issues and he pounds back rats like no tomorrow.
I fed him at 9 am this morning, no issue's, he ate it within minutes and happily spent his day in his hide and just came out a few minutes ago to have a drink which I always love to observe.
This is when I noticed all these little brown-ish coloured bugs, that are similar to lice, crawling all over his water dishes and his hide... my heart sank as the first thing that comes to mind is he has mites![]()
since I don't want to risk regurge I can't handle him but carefully went over every inch of him and his tank with a flash light and they only seem to be in these two locations. As well as some are crawling through the bedding, but majority are on top of his hide.
they are way to tiny and light to get a picture of, otherwise I'd post one. I had him out the other day as well as I was spot cleaning his tank while he sat with me and I didn't see anything? Could they be mites or is it something else? should I buy some pam just in case or should I just switch everything over and see of they come back?
I'm sorry for the long post I just figured detail is important in this case!
Thanks
