Oh, to clarify. Fermina died last summer due to, what I think: mites that led to scale rot. I kept her on newspaper and I don't think that was a good idea.
I also made it too humid once and I think that did the trick
my old gf was also caring for her and let her crawl on her bed a few times, perhaps Fermina picked up something that way.
I took her to the vet, and she received a shot for the rot and it cleared up in like 3 days! BUT, somehow it eventually came back and attacked her aggresively.
scale rot is not caused by mites! its caused by bacterial infection of the skin or a fungus. this would be cause by high humidity and/or dirty unkept cage. what mites will do is add to stress which would compound the problem, but surely getting too humid once isnt enough to cause it. mites could of also passed something to the snake.
