12 months from the last mite seen is when your snake no longer has mites. Not 2 weeks or a month like a lot of people seem to think.
I would assume you need all the help you can get if BHB is where you get your reptile knowledge (no offense to you, just BHB).
Don't expect anything from the seller. You paid $60 for a sick snake. They aren't going to pay you any money back, and there really is nothing you can do against them unless you have a signed Contractual Agreement for Provision of Goods stating the price you paid, their tax number, and a photo and description of the animal in question.
Mites are taken care of with NIX treatments (look up online), and treat the enclosure with PAM (also look up online). The lump can be looked at by a exotics vet.

Re: Red Tail Boa Help!!!
you work at BHB? and bought this snake from someone who works at BHB?
Are you just soaking her in water, or are you also using a mite treatment? She should REMAIN in a separate room and tank for a quarantine period of 3-9 MONTHS anyways, especially if she has mites and a mystery lesion.

Yes I work there, the snake came from his friend who was holding the boa for my coworker so he really had no control over the boa. But she's a lot better now, her contusion is going away and it seems I've killed all mites. I have mite treatment and.have.been soaking her.so it's a lot better now, she is on another room not near my collection don't worry.

Re: Red Tail Boa Help!!!
Oil on the scales I s not an effective mite treatment, and neither is water soaks. You need treatment with an actual product (pam, nix, etc) to be sure you are actually getting rid of all life stages, not juat the large adults.

I am using mite treatments. But the oil suffocates the mites under her scales and the soaking drowns others. And after her soaking is done she is put in her tank with fresh newspaper and it is sprayed down.

It doesn't work though! Silly person. I tried telling you about the eggs but you refused to read it.
Enjoy mite farming! Maybe you'll make a business out of it.
Also, good to know the health of your snake comes second to you having to be right! Gold star for you!

Re: Red Tail Boa Help!!!

Great to know that BHB hires nothing but the best and brightest to take care of their collection....

To be honest, the best and the brightest wouldn't even apply.
Who makes good money picking up poop for some other guy's collection?
