Mites?

I found one little black speck on my boa. Not sure if it's a mite. I searched all over her to see if there were more and I didn't find any. I was wondering if people who have experienced mites could post pictures of what their snakes looked like with mites???

Re: Mites?

If the spec looks like this up close, you have mites. Also check the waterbowl for them, and the snakes eye/vent as they like to hang out there. Very early stages aren't easy to catch, they're fast moving tiny creatures.

Re: Mites?

put white paper towels on the bottom of your bin or enclosure and see if any turn up there.
