Hi,
I have a 10 year old coastal (11in Feb 2024).
We tried to feed him a 800gram rabbit in September however it was too big for him and he didn’t eat it. A week or so after we started to notice he was soaking himself in his water bowl which he doesn’t normally do. Had a quick search on the internet and it sounded like mites. Bought some Frontline (fipronil) and sprayed some on some gloves and rub a thin layer down his body, cleaned out his enclosure and put he back in 24hrs later. He now seems to be having little tremors (will load a video). Took him to a reptile vet on Friday and she couldn’t see any mites but says they could be biting him causing the tremors/flinching. She injected him with Ivomec and has advised he will need another two shots (2weeks between each shot). I’m not 100% sure it’s mites. Any one experienced anything like this before?
