    Mites and soaking..

    Hey Guys,

    so a couple of my ball pythons have mites .. I just found them this morning and my big guy is trying to drown his in the water dish, but He's far too big to get his whole body in it.

    I can't treat them until tommorow because they just ate last night. Should I provide him with a bigger water dish so that he can can hide until I can treat with PAM?

    Any suggestions?
    Chris.

    Re: Mites and soaking..

    Since they just ate, I would make sure that the water bowl is at least over the UTH or under the heat lamp, depending on your setup. This will at least give them some heat to help digestion while they are trying to soak the mites away. It is up to you whether or not to provide a larger water bowl. Good luck with the mite treatment...
