I'm in Colorado but I live pretty close to the Colorado-New Mexico border. When I was little, I always said I wanted to work for the Denver Zoo. My mother always told me it was a bad idea because I'd somehow manage to come home with a wolf pup in my pocket. She was probably right. Lol

I didn't want to double post yesterday, but I did manage to take a video. I hope it links properly. This video is from yesterday during soak time. Today my brain started working and I realized that I could get the little guy to ball up and then I could hold him under water while supporting his head above water and it would be more successful on drowning mites than watching him struggle. I feel stupid and badly for not realizing this two days ago. He's a very tolerant snake and seems to be starting to trust me, despite my lack of intelligence the past two days. He is currently in a 12 qt tub I was using for my hornworms (which I like to grow out into moths occasionally because they are really cool bugs). He almost moves normally now. It just seems likes he's on a constant tilt. You can definitely tell there's something wrong with him.

I still can't get him to drink. I don't want to put a water bowl in there unsupervised so I offer for half an hour but he just doesn't seem interested. The other two, who are still sharing the cage they came in, drink for a few minutes and then go back to pretending to tolerate each other. I didn't soak the bigger two today as I've gotten most of the mites off and figure doing it every other day until we get to the vet will work. I probably won't soak the little guy tomorrow now that I'm only seeing 100-200 come off of him. I'll probably soak him on Monday. He really is a sweet little guy. Unlike the Normal who seems to be trying to indicate that he's hungry. He's been hissing at me all day and half of yesterday. He does have mouth rot on both sides. All yellow and pus-filled. The other two are A-okay otherwise.

Anywho, here's pictures and video, hopefully. Lol
