Mites : (

freon546 Jun 30, 2006 08:36 PM

Kaa my new IJ carpet python has mites. He hasn't taken his food in a while. Well he was in shed and now that he has, the past two times i have gone to feed him he hasnt taken it.

I have him quarintined and i got some mite stuff for him and i know things dont look good cause he probablly has IBD... but is there anyway i can get him to eat? do they normally stop eating when they get mites? can i expect him to start eating again soon? he is looking real thin.

i've never dealt with mites before, so any advice yall could give would be great.
