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.

I thought they were gone...
But I found couple more mites I think. They look pretty big and not sure if they are mites. Couldn't find any in the tank, or imbedded in her. both crawling on her. I took a pic of one (the best i could) what do you think.

Looks like a mite to me. Treat everything including the legs and outside walls of ur tank/tubs. Might as well get the carpet/floor in the room just to be safe.

I treated her cage with prevent-a -mite yesterday. Hopefully its gone now. Treated My other two snakes a couple weeks ago with the same thing. Pebles on the other hand, was treated with "Natural Chemicals...Reptile Spray." She looked and acted clean after the treatment ,and also stopped hiding in her water dish. Didn't see any more mites.
My other two beautiful snakes are... still beautiful.

P.s. Cant wait to attempt a breed!

You will want to preventatitvely re-treat your kiddos in about 30 days when any mite eggs may hatch.

Personally I would treat the whole house by dusting the floors with Boric Acid, and treating the enclosures with Provent A Mite and re-treat 2 weeks and again at 4 weeks.
