Hey i am a new owner of a ball python and have had for about 3 months he got mites i think from the last trip to the store where i handeled more ball pythons.

Well long story short he got mites, so never had to deal with this before i went about it where i read all the info online. One of my friends suggested Olive oil along with Reptile Relief. So i clean the tank etc. Give him a warm bath and rub him down with olive oil


BAD NEWS Now his scales seem to be peeling off especially his underbelly and looks raw, not horrible just when he goes through my hands clear scales come off?

Ive soaked him in warm water trying to get the oil all off thinking this was the cause

Anything i can do To eleviate this problem


Current Substrate is Reptile linear for the mite treatment
Have UTH and humidity levels are normal and temps are good on both sides.


Please HELP! I hate to see my snake like this
