 |
|
A friend of mine has some CF royals that he picked up about 5 months ago now, he was checking them today when he saw a tiny little white 'worm' moving on one of the royals, he said it was on the scales then was going in and out of the scales, I asked him if it could be mites but he said he was 99% sure it wasn't he described it as a really small worm, it was near the neck of the snake.
He keeps them at 90F with a slight mist every 3 days and keeps them on straw.
Any advice anyone?

Not a clue, he was advised to put them on it by the shop and I have told him to clean the viv out and stick them on newspaper until he knows what it is then move them onto aspen.

So why do you keep them on straw?

I don't, now.
I took the same advice for a day before I read about it properly.
I at least microwaved the hay first though.

Finds his food easy enough 
No problems at all with him in there, he loves to roam.
