Serendipity the Suriname, my first boa

[MootWorm]

Oh no! Hopefully those mites don't put up too much of a fight. She's gorgeous btw. I love how saturated her reds are. Congrats!

[DestinyLynette]

Well, removed her from water and made her slither through paper towels; not a single bug. Hm.

[DestinyLynette]

Thank you so much I do too. I was thrilled pulling her out of the bag.

[DooLittle]

You did it!! Yay. Shes beautiful too. Good luck with the mites. I'd bet some are hiding on her, probably why she's soaking. I've never seen either of mine soak. You're gonna enjoy her though, boas are such fun.

[DestinyLynette]

Well I kinda bullied her into the bowl, and then she stayed there after I took the lid off, Thank you, I can already see she's quite the character. So much personality!

Anyone know the difference between Provent-A-Mite in a spray can from the pro-product site and Reptile Spray from Reptile Basics? Or just using diluted human lice treatment?

I found this on Amazon, will this be enough? If I wanna spray my six other tubs too, for good measure?

[Borgy76]

Maybe a couple of her spots fell off j/k. She's cute and looks like she will be quite the little character. Hopefully things clear up quickly for ya.

I would absolutely get the Reptile Spray from Rich at Reptile Basics. LOVE that stuff!! It is very safe too - you can spray it directly on the snake. And it WORKS. Wipe down the tubs of your other snakes with it too even if your Suri is in q/t. Mites travel.

And yes, that bug in the picture is a snake mite. Mites hide under the scales and in the heat pits, under the jaw, and around the eyes. They are VERY hard to spot on the snake. You are lucky you found them when you did.

Gorgeous baby! Congrats but be warned - boas are like potato chips. Bet you can't have just one!!

I'm already dreaming of hazaarding a litter one day Got mite-killer on the way, two-day shipping! Oh, Evenstar, someone on my FB (though he admits to specializing in Retics, not boas) said she "looked weird", like her tail was a bit lighter than normal or something or she didn't look pure... thoughts?

[DestinyLynette]

He's suggesting she's BCI not BCC based on speckling (saying Surinames tend to be cleaner) and that BCI have the "same king of band"..
