I'm a little worried about one of my snakes.
Backround info...
A couple weeks ago I took both my snakes to the vet because they had mites. I got the appropriate stuff to take care of that problem and have been doing it faithfully (its a six week process).
In the meantime, I have rid my house of all snake bedding (where the mites originated from), and have been using paper towels at the bottom of their tanks. I also threw out all decorative ornaments from the tanks. For about three weeks there was the papertowels (including scrunched up for hide purposes) and a water dish. Mites seem to be gone.
My one snake is worrying me because the skin under each eye seems to be drooping. It literally looks like she has bags under her eyes. Has anyone ever seen this? Everything else for her is going good. Thermoregulating, eating and gaining weight and pooping. I am still waiting for a shed, but nothing yet. Should I be worried?
