These past two days, Griffin went through a full shed, and this morning I decided to give him a warm, shallow soak in the tub. When I was drying him off, I noticed that the scales around his face were starting to seem darker at the edges than his other scales, and that the scales around his eyes seemed rather dark.
I did some reading, and I'm conflicted. First of all, I'm not certain it's mites, since I can't find any good pictures of what mites look like on BTS other than some extreme cases. Second, everything I've just read about treatment specifically mentions avoiding the eyes, and the eyes are exactly where my BTS seems to be most affected.
I took some pictures of what I think may be the mite infested areas:
Please let me know what you all think!!!!! I've only had Griffin for almost a month now, and I've never dealt with mites myself (I helped spot them in our cornsnakes at my job, but I wasn't the one to administer treatment), but I know they can be a major issue!!! Griffin is also about to get upgraded to his bigger and permanent set-up, and I'd feel much better moving him knowing he's not carrying an infestation into his new home...
