Recently my ball python came down with mites. I treated him with mite-off, and he seemed to be getting better, after 2 applications. I sprayed him and his bedding(I use reptibark) and he seemed to be getting better. Two days ago, when it was time for his feeding, he wouldnt eat. He usually eats 2 fuzzy mice a week. then last night I noticed that he was swollen, his whole body. from the neck down, to the tip of his tail. he is all puffy and squishy. It also seems that the mites have retreated into his vents. is there some way to take care of the mites in his vents? Why would his body swell? I have also noticed some mucus around his mouth...does anybody know of any treatment that i can do to make him better of know what could have caused this? Is it all related to the mites? please help I am so worried about him!
