Get a full sized piece of paper towel, wet it with the spray (or just-cool to your touch water if you do t have the spray), hold it around your snake up near its neck, and let your snake slither through your hands so its length goes through the paper towel. Do you see any black or red dots on the paper towel?
If yes, you have mites and.need to get treating them asap.
If no, it could be bruising from shipping.
In either case, if you don't have Reptile Spray, get it. And Provent-A-Mite. Pretreat any animal and caging you get. Better safe than sorry.
This morning I went to do what you told me to do I wet a paper towel with water to rub my python with. I saw it crawling around so I went to get the towel and when I came back it had knocked over the thermometer I had in there to check humidity and the sticking side on the back had stuck to its skin I saw it trying to yank it out so I got it and saw that the skin was stuck to it stretching out I had to spend some time but I got it free it turn kinda pinkish where the skin was stuck so idk if it's ok or not. It seemed to still act normal flicking it's tounge so u think it will be fine. As well for the mites I rubbed it several time and. Itching came off so I'm guessing it's bruising but I'll still get the items just for safe measures
