Okay, im new to this website and to the world of reptiles. I tried to do as much research as I could before purchasing my snakes. I have a 60 Gallon glass Terrarium with and enclosed top. I have the heat source (150 Watt Ceramic Heat Emitter) pointing at an angle down into the side of the cage. The temp on that side is around 90 and the heat on the other side is around 80. I always change the water everyday and the substrate regularly. I have 2 snakes. 1. (Krunch) 3 Month old Col. Red Tail - 23 Inches 2. (Aries) 1 Yr old Col. Red Tail - 44 Inches. Also i did not know about having to Quarantine snakes before puting them in the same cage. I bought them at the same place, they were all ready in the same cage.
I have just about cured the mite problem we had. About a month ago i noticed mites on Krunch, right after his first Regurgitation. I went down to the pet shop. Bought new substrate, mite poweder for the cage, and Snake Oil. I used the snake oil 3 days in a row to help smother the mites. I havent seen any mites since. I did not feed Krunch for 2 weeks. The next feeding went fine. No regurgitation. Then the next week he regurgitated after 2 days. The same day Krunch did this i noticed his eyes went milky. So i dont know why he reguratated again. Im looking around my area for a Vet that I can take him to if need be. He just seems sick. I found one yellow bump near his tail. It looks like a zit. I dont know what that is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
BTW Aries also had mites but has none now, and has had no health problems.....he seems just fine......really active too
