Update on the little girl. This is day 5 with me so I still haven't offered her food (I did waft some thawing rat into her vicinity while feeding my other BP to get her thinking about it lol). Woke up today to a nice healthy poo and a 7/10 shed. It was in pieces which I didn't love but we got eye caps and tail tip so I wasn't too fussed. I had to interrupt her alone time for turn down service and did a thorough body check. I have not seen another mite on her body or in the enclosure. Unfortunately her pink spots didn't get better, in fact they look like most of the damage was taking place underneath. They look like damaged scales. If they were more ventral I would think scale rot for sure. At this point I still think they could be traumatized scales that need some time to turn over. Her belly continues to look good which makes me less concerned for something systemic. She certainly doesn't seem malnourished. I'm hoping the shed and the poo has inspired some appetite in her, thinking I will offer her a rat today or tomorrow.
