He had mites about a month ago. But I haven't seen any since. Even when he had them it was a very minor case. I never saw any adult ones. I treated with natural chemistry spray and wiped him down, and treated his tank. And I havent seen any sign of them.

As far as the popping or wheezing or what not, nothing. No signs of an R.I.

He ate a med/large rat today and after a few hours came out and started rubbing his head against everything again.

I'm ordering the herpstat tomorrow, until then i have a thick layer of aspen and papertowels to protect him from the heat.

Maybe he is stressed?
