Hello all...again :)

I dont think my corn has mites but cannot be 100%. She feeds fine and from what i can gather is acting normally. I technically have no grounds to think she has them but i want to be sure.

Shes a ghost morph and her colours make it very hard to make a decision. As some of her scales are dark grey/black on the tips of them so im not sure if its just her colour or not.

Is it safe to treat her if she hasnt got them? and whats the best treatment?

you cant fix something that isnt broken!!!

That said, there is no harm in preventative measures, but there is no point in treating the snake! Spray the viv by all means, but do nothing to the snake.

Hi, u'll know when she has mites coz you'll either see them crawling on her (which isn't a nice sight believe me) or floating in her water, or both.

Personally, I wouldn't treat her for them if she hasn't got them coz it might cause her unnecessary stress.
