I bought a red tail on the cheap from a breeder I didn't know very well.

BIG MISTAKE. I knew it wasn't a great idea but it was such a beautiful snake, great temperament. Can't say enough good things about it.

Well, of course, problems arose. After a month or so, mite infestation. Horrified for my other animals, I treated the mites on the snake, treated the cage, soaked everything in the cage in bleach, scrubbed it, on and on.

I had to repeat that twice but it does seem like the mites are finally beaten.

Now, it was pretty bad and the snake has lost some weight. Would it be advisable to maybe feed her twice a week or something to help her get back on her feet?

Poor, beautiful thing.

:cens0r: this pisses me off, I've never had a problem like this in all my years of herping. I'm religious about keeping my herp cages clean
