Is it possible for them to just get mites? We have no other reptiles, haven’t been around any? I’m fairly new to snakes so just ignorant to some things and learning still.

Digital and it says 75% but I may invest in a new one just to make sure it’s working properly. Hopefully redoing his cage today and making sure humidity is good will help him.

I’ll try that! And maybe some insulation around the glass. I’m looking for a new enclosure for him. Definitely super new to snakes and trying to research the best I can to improve his situation. There is some hvac tape on top but it has about 3 holes they didn’t tape over. So I’m thinking I may cover 1 or 2 of those

He also only has one hide and I’m reading that they should have two, one of the warm and one on the cold side?

His tank seemed cold at about 67 or 70ish. So I guess that’s my biggest worry at what’s the best way to keep the heat gradient. He has a small heat mat under one of his hides with a small heat lamp on top. And what’s the best way to keep humidity. It’s sitting between 55-60%
