    Re: please help - i have 2 possibly related problems going on

    I'm no vet, but my guess is that the snake does have mites. That would explain why they keep coming back, the bad shed, and possibly her shedding again. I would treat her like she does have mites, better safe than sorry anyways, and see if that helps. Also, and this is an opinion, that green carpet stuff sucks. It's hard to clean, doesn't help with humidity (which also leads to bad sheds), and is overall just not great. Definitely switch to newspaper or aspen bedding. Speaking of humidity, what is yours at and how are you reading it? Good luck with your new snakes!
