Re: Ball Python acting funny?

He is a normal BP, no morph. I have his brother also who shows no problems at all.
The heating thing he has, I'm not sure what kind it is. I bought the tank with it already on it from a reptile show. Its clear, and sticks on. Its supposed to be permanent, which Id idn't realize til AFTER I took it off when I did a deep cleaning for the mite problem.
But anyway, on his warm side, with my temp gun, he sits at about 88-94. 94 being right next to his climbing branches.
Another note though, as I went to take the temps, he does still have a slight mite problem. If ound two in hiswater bowl I just changed last night, so I reprayed the tank.
But any clue whats going on with him? Should I be worried since I have 5 other snakes?
It doesn't matter what type of heater it is. It needs to be plugged into a thermostat. I agree with the others that this is probably related to the mite treatment. S
