angelic_eyes Jan 20, 2005 01:24 PM

when i received my snake i noticed he had little bites on him, the person who sent him to me told me she fed him frozen mice, and my aquarium was cleaned, and non of my other animals have mites, but someone told me it could be from the bedding. his beddings brand new the repti-bark, but they told me it could come in this is it true? ive been spraying t-rex bio mite on him and if it dont clear up ill take him to the vet but just wondered if it was true about the beddin?

If it is mites which I think is what yuo were talking about, then get provent-a-mite. Pro-products.com has it. I used it for the first time on tuesday and the good it has already done is amazing. I do not suggest using any bark for them. I have always found that newspaper or paper towels work better than anything. If it is bite marks on it just simply let them heal. Bark, no matter how new it is may bring in unwanted pests such as mites and they can cause impactions.

I was going by how you said that non of your other snakes have mites on them and that you sprayed some kind of mite stuff on it so..... You may have to look closely to see if there are any mites on it. They are small and they can come from just about anythign from outside.
