Are mites also white things that swim in water ??? also is it ok to feed my snake in bath tub?

Mites are black but their eggs are white. You can feed it in the bath tub if you are sure its clean, but it might be a better idea to get a seperate box to put it in, then the snake can eat and have long enough to come out of 'feed mode' before you remove it.





Although it is possible for you to just feed the snake in the cage, if its is on loose substrate just put a sheet of newspaper or the like down first.Are mites also white things that swim in water ??? also is it ok to feed my snake in bath tub?
No, mites are small black dots that are normally seen around the snakes face or tail area. They will be found in the water as the snake tries to rid itself of the parasites. If the bathtub has no water or other fluids in it then yes. Just remember that after feeding you should wait to move it for 15 minutes or so.Are mites also white things that swim in water ??? also is it ok to feed my snake in bath tub?
I am not sure about the mites... it is probably best to feed your snake in a container that it can be fully enclosed in, and a dark, quiet place. A bathtub could allow for escape, and is colder that a snake would prefer. Many snakes do not like to eat while being watched.
