i am concerned that milo might have mites
it is difficalt to tell though because he is currently in his sheading process (the ignoring of food, grumpy and bathing)
i am convinced that he might because of black dots/slits around his neck and on a few scales (my mum thinks he might not have them and that i am confusing mites with his markings)

i have only had him for two weeks and i think he might have caught them from his viv in the pet shop or they might have come from his wood dector from another shop 9if he has them)
i can't do much presently because he is going to shead any day now and if he has mites on his sheaded skin i will post it.

any advice or help in the meantime?

I have!!! too much!!
You will know if they are mites, quite simply, they move. If they are not under the scales then they will walk about, the females are usually the size of a pin head, you cant miss them.
