Individual scales are coming off of my snake when I handle her, what is wrong?
I recently had a roommate move out abruptly and she left behind her yearling red tail boa. The poor snake had a pretty bad mite problem which I treated with an anti mite product suggested by the local pet store and since then the mites have not come back.
But now when I handle her I have started to notice that individual scales will come off on my hands. I am very concerned about this any ideas what is wrong or what I should do?
Ask to the age she is just over a year old.
She has shed often before but it has always come off in close to one piece.
This is common with a heavy mite infestation. As long as the mites are gone I would not worry about it. All snake scales can grow back, with the exception of the rostal scale at the tip of the nose.
You may want to not handle the snake for a few weeks while it recovers. Mites can be very stressful for snakes, but as long as its eating, you should be alright.
Good luck,
Robert, AKA Reptile Bob
