Mites or coloring?
Today, I noticed that my ball python Radi has tiny brown dots around his nostrils, only about the size of this period. I feared it might be mites (I don't know what snake mites look like but I know on cats they are teenie and dark in coloring) so I, of course, FREAKED OUT!
But after calming down, I realized that Radi had some more of these tiny dark brown specks on his lighter patches and now I'm stuck between "OMG MY POOR BABY HAS MITES!" and "he's even more beautiful than I thought
"
Help?
Please and thanks!
(PS, he's not wild caught. He's about 5 years old and I adopted him from someone. He hasn't come in contact with other snakes since then, but the only other snake his preivous owner had is a huge burmese python and I don't think poor Radi gotgood care...the way he handled my baby was appaling!)
