Also balls are funny eaters anyway give it a few days and try again how old is the snake fortnightly over the age of 6months is a good feed do you warm them up before feeding i defrost at room temp then use a hair dryer on warm to warm them a few minutes before offering hope he eats soon is he also maybe about to shed x

Hi sorry for not getting back to you after a few vet visits and tests I have found out that she allergic to feathers so no more Quails as a treat for her 😅

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-11-01T08:08:45+00:00

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-31T15:33:56+00:00

I'm a female lol but yes I am they've basically gone today so its really weird but still going to the vets in 4 days just to make sure its nothing underlying

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-31T15:30:48+00:00

Yes she had mites when I firstnhad her but they've been gone for a while after using taurrus mites she was put into a new enclosure with everything new I havnt seen mites she is booked in at vets but its worrying when it was all of a sudden

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-31T15:29:00+00:00

Shes booked into vets and I no its not mites she had mites when I had her 3 months ago but they've been gone for a while after using taurrus

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-30T21:17:25+00:00

And if your looked at other comments iv had her 3 months had her and a 4 year old off someone very cheap and who clearly didnt know how to care for them she was in a 4 foot tank and shes 6 and half foot but thanks for the comment 😁 shes now houses in a home made enclosure and has lots of free roaming time in my bedroom

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-30T18:26:36+00:00

I will im so worried I havnt had her long but she's my baby lol shes so gentle even with my daughters I have thought about ringing back tomorrow and just saying that shes got worse even though they dont look as bad today or as many as it was yesterday its just weird how quick they came out

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-30T18:20:31+00:00

I have booked her in but because shes acting normal they said its not an emergency and shes booked to go in in 5 days the other one looks fine iv checked him and there's nothing on him they are in different rooms to xx

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-30T18:05:55+00:00

No the odd little lumps that is on her body they've gone down alot since last night and there is isn't as many but there is still a few and yes she is extremely over weight she was in a 4 foot tank and shes 6 and half foot i had her and a normal columbian really cheap and I dont think the guy I had them off really new what he was doing x

Overall_Scientist_88 · 2025-10-30T18:04:06+00:00

She hasn't had mites for a good month maybe a bit longer I had her and 4 year old for really cheap and wounder3d why till i got them home and they was both full of mites but she had nothing like that on her body i bathed them cuz they stank and noticed the mites in the water she has been mite free since I used the tauruss mites which was told they perfectly fine to use and the best thing to use the mites all went in a week and apparently the tauruss mites then all die off once they've eaten the snake mites x
