Mite infested. Grrrrr
I never thought I would have to deal with mites, but here they are. My leucistic Texas rat snake appeared perfectly normal about two days ago but now he is completely covered in mites. I'm not sure how this happened so suddenly. As far as I can see, my other snakes don't have any. I put him in a bag with 5% Sevin dust and made sure he was covered in it. Poor fella looked so depressed and lethargic. Normally he's flighty, but today he was letting me rub and pick at him all over. Maybe he realized I was helping him out of his miserable condition. Doubt it.
