A couple more questions. After taking a little closer look the what I believe to be male 8ft albino burm I have rescued has mites BADDDDDD I mean she soaked in water dish overnight and while cleaning it there was litteraly hundreds... I'm thinking they are just comeing to surface because I treated him with some nix as I do all my new animals.. This burm was in fairly bad shape when I got it so I mad sure to quarantine him far from my other snakes.. Other side of the house. He is a bit flighty but today he let me rub him down some and clean a small area of the mites near his tail.. There is literaly hundreds still on him and they just won't rub off I have treated him twice and the ones I pulled off of his tail area where all dead.. My question is will they just fall off all being dead a lot are realy deep.. And or when he sheds will they come off then... he is so beautiful but he is speckled like he was a paradox .. The mites just won't rub off and I don't want to pick at him he gave me a good sit down earlier.. Any help I appreciate.
