    Pimples?

    I have a question, i recently bought a wc gravid (please no anti import hate comments, thank you!) and she seems to have pimples..ive been researching online and i tihnk it may have been due to mite bites, IM reserching online trying to find the closest herp vet, but i want some advice im wondering if this happens because of mite bites, when she came in she had 2 dead mites, and havent seem any since...so is this the result of old mite bites?
    Is it something i should be really worried about?

    i would say yeah!
    i dont think snakes get pimples.they could be blisters,illergic reaction to somthing or a number of things.

    get it to a vet to avoid loss of an investment

    Sounds kinda like you're talking about water blisters.

    I am sure that you already have isolated her from your other reptiles, but just in case you have her in with others in the same room - put her into quarantine immediately. Don't know what the blisters are / are not, but they sound unpleasant

    Re: Pimples?

    You need to get your bp to a herp vet ASAP. Puss filled bumps are definitely not a good thing.

    If you saw dead mites on her you also need to treat her for mites and be very careful about quarantining her away from the rest of your collection. If there were dead mites on her, chances are there are eggs on her, and you don't want to wake up one day and find her covered in freshly hatched mites.

    heres a pic
    best i could do. they are on her head and she does soak a lot cuz (well i think ) she has two dead mites in the crevese of her eyes. so i assume they bother her but shes blue right now so hopefully when she sheds theyll go away.
    havent seen any more ticks (i think i said mites before, i always jus say mites)
    since i treated her twice with the solution i got with her.
