I had the same problem last week with my snake. I thought it was mites but I was wrong, thats a good thing. But to get rid of mites with a snake I heard to bath the snake in a warm bath trying to make sure you get the head because the mites will climb out to the head. Some even say to use a small amount of dish soap with the bath I didnt want to do that. I took the whole tank wood etc and soaked it it bleach and water then soaked it again for a day in clear water changing it every few hours.

With mites you can also pick off the ones you see, hard to see on a dragon I would think, my snake happens to be white so I would see them easier.



>>Nope no other pets and I think your right with your guess of mites. How can i get rid of them?
