Mites and Scale deformation
I have had a baby male Malaysian Red Blood Python since late spring, and have now noticed 3 small, dark mites on his head. He had a cover over most of the screening of his cage, to control humidity, but one of my other pets had knocked it off while I was away. I was gone for 3 days, and when I returned, his water bowl was entirely empty, and all but the smalles amount of his bedding (coconut hull) was dry. I noticed the scales around his eyes appear to close into the eye itself, and his once perfectly round contact lenses are now obscured by the surrounding scales. He had a quick bath in warm, clean water, and has been placed in a rubbermaid bin with only paper towel as a substrate, as well as a bowl of water, and a plastic hide. Any information as to the scale deformation would help, including specifically known causes (dehydration or mite infestation). Any advice will really help!
