I just noticed some bumps down the side of my red tail.He has about 6 or 7 of them down his side.They are semi rigid and appear to be just underneath the scales.He is also cloudy eyed and his skin is opaque,so he's about to shed if that matters.It will be his first she for me.I have never had mites on my snakes and this one didnt have these bumps when I got him a few weeks ago.I'm not sure that's even what it is.I'm no quite sure how to post pics here,but I do have some pics.Do they need to be hosted somewhere else before I can post links here?If I do have mites is this something I can treat myself or is a vet visit neccesary?hanx for any help i advance!
