Red Mites

• Sign: Tiny red or black specks visible on the skin, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and under scales, sometimes leaving a dusty residue in the water bowl
• Importance: Red mites feed on blood and in large numbers can cause significant blood loss and anaemia, which can be life-threatening if left untreated

• Sign: Excessive soaking in water, frequent rubbing against enclosure surfaces, restlessness, and raised or lifted scales
• Importance: Snake mites burrow beneath scales causing intense irritation, and prolonged infestations can lead to poor shedding, dehydration, and a serious decline in condition

• Sign: Visible skin irritation, redness, crusting, and difficulty shedding — shed skin may come off in patches rather than in one piece
• Importance: Skin mites cause ongoing discomfort and can lead to secondary infections if the skin becomes damaged through repeated rubbing or incomplete shedding

• Sign: Small white specks visible around the head and limbs, accompanied by scratching, restlessness, and general signs of irritation
• Importance: Lice feed on skin and blood, causing persistent discomfort and, in heavier infestations, contributing to weakness and weight loss

• Sign: Weight loss, reduced appetite, lethargy, abnormal droppings, and in some cases visible mid-body swelling
• Importance: Internal worm infestations are difficult to detect in early stages but can cause significant damage to the digestive system and overall health if not treated
