Quick update...He has not come out of his water hide. The other day after I pulled him out and gave fresh water he slithered around for a few then went back in. Today I pulled him out again, I checked him over for mites again..nothing, Checked the dirty water for dead mites..nothing, I broke down the entire tank...nothing. Everything that was in the tank is soaking in bleach/water mix just in case ( couple rocks and a fake plant).
I threw down some newspaper, a tiny box for a hide and the water hide with fresh water. I had to leave for a few hours so I'll see where he is when I get home in an hour or so.


PS ..still has not shed yet, eyes are still very blue, and belly is pink.
