Re: Mites!!!

My only issue with soaking is that my female jungle carpet (she is quite large and a beautiful snake) has been extremely aggressive since the mites showed up. She sometimes will hiss loudly as though she is being agitated even if she is alone in her tank! I looked for RI signs such as whistling and bubbling but she seems fine. Any idea what's going on?

Soaking honestly didn't work for me even after nearly a week of soaking. The crisco trick definitely works it smothers the mites and then a simple wash cleans her up. My snake has been very active, hasn't tried to soak at all, and ate 2 mice today. You're snake may be hissing when she is alone cause a mite is in the eye and actively causing irritation.
