First of all, I fully intend to take my snake to the vet, but can’t do it today.
Loki and Gamora (3.5 year old Bredlis) were bought with a bunch of mites thrown in for free. We noticed them about a week after we got them, and went straight to a reptile vet. We’ve been following the treatment the vet recommended, but the mites keep on coming back.
Last Wednesday we noticed that Loki has gone milky-eyed, and he’s been hiding since. He was supposed to be treated for mites yesterday, but because he’s about to shed, it was recommend not to treat until shed is completed.
Today he came out from his hide and I noticed blisters all over his body, as well as some scales looking like they’re falling off. While it is not clear in the picture, it seems there’s a mite in every blister.
I don’t know whether I should disturb and stress him by taking him to the vet until he sheds? Is there anything I can do for him until I take him to the vet?
