Parasites
Our snake has a parasite on her head, as soon as I get up in the morning I'm calling the vet to get her in. In the mean time is there anything I can do for her?

Re: Parasites
I'm guessing you probably have a tick. My best suggestion would be to order some Provent a Mite.

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

Re: Parasites
Will this mite cause her to have a seizure? Or was she just flipping around to get it off? She was flipping, turning, rolling...etc...

Whatever this thing is, it's round and red by her head.

If she was trying to get it off, she'd be more likely to rub her head not flip. Something definitely sounds wrong in this scenario. I'd say the vet is your best bet.

Re: Parasites
I second that, the flipping and rolling doesn't sound right. I would call around to vets and tell them this can't wait.

Re: Parasites
Just an update...we had to put her down. The vet was pretty sure she had Inclusion Body Disease, which has a 100% mortality rate. So instead of watching her suffer, we did the humane thing. Thanks for all the input, it was all very helpful!!
