So those that have read my last post about my snake spazzing out, he seems better now. The only thing that's weird now is that he is trying to rub his scales off. There is a bare spot on his neck/head area that has no scales left and I guess it's sensitive because he trys to pull away and hide himself when I touch him there.
The scales on the underside are very flaky and kind of loose looking, I can't describe it, they just aren't really tight to the body.
So, I read about some kind of shedding spray that helps snakes shed and have nice skin after. Has anyone tried this. He isn't ready too shed yet though, but because he's scales are dry and flaky off, maybe he needs something to help him feel better.
I'm thinking that he is really dry because prior to his mite treatment, I rubbed canola oil on him thinking this would suffacate the mites etc, but I think that's what wrecked his scales and dryed them out. I have been keeping the humidity up, but it's not helping at all. I even put a moist hide box in there but he won't go in it. I'm worried he will hurt himself more by rubbing his scales off. They are stuck to the glass and I also see them on the paper towel. He doesn't appear to have belly rot or anything. Any suggestions?
