this is her after i got back from my chrissy holiday 2 weeks later, with 2 shed skins in her tank... the first pic was about 1 week befor she shed, her and her sister where both pretty skinny when i got them they are good size now as u can see she has plenty of water in their, i thought no water would make it harder for her to shed?? not sure if she has mites i will get a mite wash just incase she has been hideing in her cave alot aswell...

Temps size of enclosure food and how often fed etc

has 2 perch's temps float around 33 in hot spot to 26 cold spot, glass fish 6ft fish tank sectioned off into 4 tanks, she has crystal substrate with vines etc same as her sister and her bf lol, im hopeing was just a big growth spurt cause i fed her and her sister up so they wernt so skinny, she took 4 hopper mice 15g i think they are and her sister took the same.

i should of givin them both a spray for mites when i got them ill get some and give them a nice close once over, i f10'd their enclosures befor i put them in and keep a close eye on them, she is a little bit hidey atm and her sister and bf come out about 5-6pm every afternoon to sit on their purch and she just pokes her head out her cave lol and fully comes out at about 730-830pm

hmmm im worried about mites now im gonna take her out and check her brb

lol how do i check a black speckered snake for mites..... lol looks like she is coverd in mites but is her specks lol

Sorry to bug you about it but do they have a website?
& if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for her?
Ive wanted one for a good 6 months now lol

Water would be your best bet. Just run her a warm bath & if she has mites you will see them in the water. She is very pretty, & looks very healthy.......id say she has just had a growth spurt!

ill go try that now thanks, should i have the water very deep or only enough to cover her bottom half?

 

[Bel03]

Just cover the bottom, & let her swim through your hands, if she has mites, they should appear in the water.

Top of descent is one i have heard of......there are a few threads with other products people use though, i havent had a mite problem at this stage, hope i never do, so i cant help much from here. Lets hope its not mites though, & she is just growing well!

no mites came off her so im guessing she is ok just growing fast, maybe i fed her more then she is used to, she loved her bath didnt even bite me haha

 

[Fantazmic]

Dont trat for mites unless she has them.......you dont want to use chemicals unless you ahve to......your husbandry sounds good I would say she is growing fast !!

Well you caramel coastal or hypo looks good at least Its growing not like mine let It have a soak In a water bowl If you see little black dots In the water there mites there yes you can get a spray detailed posts are on this site but once you have mites you never get rid of them and they can infest any other snakes as well just enter mites into the search bar and you wil find something
