Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

are there alot of them...and how are they distributed? Were they there when you got the snake, or did they show up (or get worse) after it arrived? And how long have you had it, again?

I have seen a variety of "little bumps" over the years...but, looking back, I don't know that there were any that I would attribute to mites (though I have received some heavily infested snakes). Again, not being able to look at them, I don't want to say yes or no. Depending on the source/reason for the bumps, you can be facing a relatively benign problem...or a very serious one (or somewhere in between). If the snake seems healthy otherwise - make sure everything is as right as possible (temp, humidity, etc), minimize stress (don't handle it except for cage maintenance), and be meticulous about keeping the cage clean. If not, you might want to consider a trip to the vet. Any kind of health guarantee by the seller? Having only had the snake for 6 days, I wouldn't be too concerned about the shed...especially if it was not opaque when you received it.

lol, you've had him 6 days...and you only handle him once in awhile to keep him tame. Sorry, that just strikes me funny. Anyway, I still suggest leaving him alone for the time being (except what is necessary for cage maintenance). If he sheds and the bumps clear, handle to your hearts content. He should shed any day now, if he was opaque when you got him. No big surprise that he ate while opaque - all of mine do...though most people would recommend against feeding on the day of arrival.

 Once I can convince my husband we "need" more snakes, I think a blood will be my next addition. So beautiful!

bloods are great snakes(even though i have only had mine for 7 days i love him already)i was expecting for him to be aggressive like ive heard from other people but hes as calm as all my other snakes.if you get another snake go with a blood but thats just my opinon.
