Hey guys, I'm in some serious need of help.
I've got an adult spotted python that has got mites, I've done the 30 Min bathing everyday for a couple weeks but I'm still finding them and have swapped to "MAC MITE INSECTICIDE" spraying enclosure once a week as per instructions. (Snakes are outside enclosure for spraying then placed inside sprayed enclosure) as of 2 days ago I have noticed that she is rubbing her head on everything to the point she has stripped the scales off her head.
Any ideas on what might be causing it? I keep going back to stress but not sure how to help her. She won't go in any hides I've put in humidity is sitting at 60% and temp at 27c. I'm treating the area with a betadine solution (1:10)
should I stop using the mite spray? If so how can I kill the things (I'm on week 3 of treatment)
Am I better off heading to the vet?
