hey guys
I had a petstore order in a snake from a breeder for me. He came in with a tick and I pointed it out to the guy and he just plucked it off leaving the mouth peices embedded. When i saw him do it I didnt think it was right but you know what these petstore ppl are like. I then noticed a second tick today that I havent seen before. Ive had my new guy for about 3 weeks. he has eaten twice with no problems at all and other than the ticks seemed to be in really good health. I dnt want to return him cos hes really sweet and Im already really attached to him.
Ok i just went and checked my snake throughly. The site where the original tick was that i saw doesnt look infected but the scale as all dry and raised up. Is there anything I can do, put on it to clean it or aid healing whatever. Secondly the second tick the current one just like popped off while I was looking for it. I didnt pull at it or have any real pressure on it. Strider was just running through my hands. I think this is good. The tick fell on the floor and I found it picked it up with tape, folded the tape around it. Popped it (very gross) and flushed it down the toliet. I then rehecked strider and theres not eevr a raised scale wheer this guy was so I'm happy that no mouth parts where left behind. The old site however is quite a concern. Please help.
