Jack was also active for the first few days he arrived here, nervously checking out the new environment and making sure I won't eat him. LOL
Ok, cool! Our little one was so active the first few days and then poof! he disappeared. Good to know it's normal. Did you have to bump your humidity up for his shed? Ours is around 60%-65% at the moment.

That humidity is totally fine for russian rat snakes to shed I'll bet they would still shed well at 50% humidity.

Jack's snake mites are basically all gone since the last treatment, but I'm treating his enclosure and things around it tomorrow with PAM to be totally sure. So hopefully it's all good!
I'm glad I caught it early. The two adults I saw before were the only two, I killed them both myself, and I never found another.
I've fed him only twice for the past couple weeks since I found mites, to lessen the chance of poop so often LOL.

Good to hear! I was wondering how the little guy was fairing. And that the mites didn't touch his appetite lol.

Yeah! It wasn't much mites, thankfully.

Thanks! I'm dandy haha, I saw the last of the baby mites after spraying/cleaning everything with nix that day. I also covered my ball pythons and boa with frontline and sprayed the other pythons cages with nix, so I feel much safer.

Re-applied frontline to all my snakes again, just in case, and the place seems pretty mite-free to me!
And he's grown! His browns are obviously getting blacker, and his stripes are noticeably yellower. Also getting more chill as well.
Unfortunately just been posting a bunch of iphone pics LOL. I'll get nikon pics eventually!
