hey what up i have a question my python keeps going in its water bowl and cirling up in it...is this normal and another think if my python has ticks what should i do!!!!plz help me i dont know what to do im a new snake owner im despret
Yes the water bowl thing is normal, it probably means hes going to shed soon. Also, i doubt your snake has ticks you would usually see them.
What is the humidity levels in it's setup? And, they do sell tick/mite sprays at pet stores. Also, might be a good idea to do some searching for reptile vets in your area so you have one ready if need be.
mine curls up in his water tank all the time... the other never does... personallity... as far as mites.. there medication/fumacation.. but i have never had to do it as i live in Alaska so thats about all i know
Ok, well i am davids friend, i told him about this website. He doesnt have internet access at home, so he is usually at his friends house, but i dont know when he will be back. I will try to get this information to him. Ok, about the ticks, he HAS seen them. I helped him look for a herp vet around here. The closest one on that herpvetconnection was 14miles away is there a way to see if there is one closer than that? any other sites? I'll call him in a bit, to see if he has any more questions.
If the snake is soaking for extended periods it is probably for one or more of the following reasons: Temps too high Humidity too low Mites All three are easy to take care of but will require a bit of working from your friend. For the temps and humidity get a digital hygrometer and thermometer and find out what they are. For the mites check out this link: http://www.reptilerooms.com/index.php?name...mites+permanone
mine likes to soak sometimes for about 30 mins in his warm water, but he doesnt really ever curl up in his water dish....
ok thanks for the info umm.... my snake stays in its water bowl/dish for about half an hour yea i live in the rialto,san bernandino area so can anyone send me locations for vets?... -thanks!
