Thanks for your reply

yeah it missed its food, and stay'ed on for a short while until i distracted it and it let go.
As it just shed i think i might give it a different mite solution ( orange medic if ok ) as i was told that its best for most elapids but dont use the one that contains tea tree oil. My enclosures are very clean, i use f10 solution and i have never had a problem, i really should have checked before i introduced it to its enclosure as maybe it may have had mites just before i got it. It really looked in great health when i got it. I also was told that mites can be hard to detect with tigers as they can berry deeper than other snakes as there scale's are more open like. Im only going off what i was told so quote me if im wrong. I just hope it will be ok, if it gets worse i will take it to a keen vet . Its eating well and doesn't look like its in pain. im thinking now it may be mites and i just have used a dud solution ( reptivet ) or didn't apply it properly .

cheers steve.
