FC Aug 02, 2003 09:53 AM

it is the last mite left on my snake now im not sure if it is dead or alive but how can i take it out? do i need to take it out or maybe just wait until he sheds and then it will come out?
also wen i gave my snake a oil bath he now has pieces of wut i think is skin coming off of him wen i rub/dry him off with paper totwels...is that the way burms normally shed? many peices like that? or is it just cuz of the humidity?
thanx for any help,
Frank

Did you wash the oil off? Someone in the boa forum had a similar problem. Wiping the eye gently with a q-tip shouldn't hurt anything.

the mite is jammed in between the eye and the eyelid so it is hard to get out
thanx again,
Frank
