Does my Skink have Mites??

Postby xXxBORISxXx » Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:20 am

Hi!
I noticed small white spots on my skink, and I am extremely worried these may be signs of mite poo. I have attached pictures. Please let me know if that is what it looks like to you guys. I care about my little guy so much and want to make sure he is okay.
Thank you,
Daryn

Try wiping him down with a warm damp paper towel. If mites are present you should see them, and then begin treatment. If he is a recent purchase from a pet shop or expo chances are good they're present.
