A few months ago, when I first got my ball python from my friend cause he was moving away, Hurcules started Shedding. Andd he was sitting in his water bowl. I knew this was a sign of mites, so I checked him, in all the spots, around the eyes, the 'Poop Chute' as my mum calls it, the corners of the mouth, and all over the body. There was nothing on him, me, or the tank. So I figured the humidity was too low even though it was at 70%. I raised it, and he finised shedding the next day, and he wasn't in his water bowl any more. I took him out a few days later (After the skin hardened), and searched him again. Nothing. And nothing left on me either. Did the mites leave after the shed for some bizzare reason, or was he just soaking cause it felt good on his skin?
P.S. He has never had a 'proper' shed, always in peices, my friend fed him live mouse, and he has some scars from before, is that why he hasn't had a full shed? Or is it because he dosen't have enough room in his tank?
