Lady Python -
I was worried I'd hear he may have mites. I've been taking as many precautions as possible to avoid spreading them to the rest of my collection. I have not actually SEEN them, but the raised scales are definitely keeping me on my toes. How could I know for sure if he has mites? Should I put him on paper towels instead? If he has them, will they show up on me if I handle him?

I am going to check my local pet store to see if they have Provent-a-Mite...could I use it just as a precaution thing? Or is it a product that is STRICTLY for herps known to have mites? I was thinking, since I have no idea how to tell for sure if he has anything, I could go ahead and switch him to paper towels and use the PaM and I'd know for sure than, as I would see any dead mites, right?

We still have a few days before the vet appointment. I'm not sure if I should try treating for mites, or just wait until the appointment.
