Please help me if you can...my snake has had mites really bad for awhile..i've treated her twice with some snake oil and they still are there...treated her tank with more mite medicine and still there..and just today i was looking her over and opened her mouth and saw some brown patches (dunno if this is mite nests or beginning of some disease..)she goes into non eating moods also..please help!

i recieved your e-mail Lexx...but wasn't able to respond for some reason anyways well...she is only about a year old...and i guess the thing i thought was mouth rot is just a mite nest ...for it is brown..it's only in the corner where the mouth starts...and the mite medicine i been using is called nature's best or something like that...starts with nature. Also...do snakes tend not to eat when they have mites?
