BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hi! so I got my northern blue tongue 2-3 weeks ago, and I've only recently been trying to handle my skink. Today I picked them up and noticed that they had several upturned scales, and it has me slightly worried. On closer inspection I do see some white specs on them, does this mean mites?





Edit: I managed to find some black specks moving and I crushed one and there was blood, it’s mites.

Yes, definitely mites....start treating right away. There is many threads on here regarding how to handle. Good luck.

Seeing as my skink is around 2 months old I am kinda stumped on how to proceed. i also live in Hong Kong so I’m not sure if the products most people post here will be available. I’ll be giving them a bath when I get home from work and cleaning out the tank.
