Your snake may have mites are tiny, pin-head sized parasites that live under and around your snakes scales. They irritate the animal so much that it will attempt to drown them to get some relief. Take your animal out into good light and check in the corners of its mouth, around its eyes and in the slit of skin under its bottom jaw. These are favourite hiding places for mites. You will need to look very carefully, though, as if they are not full of blood, they can be near impossible to see. Another place to check is the water bowl as you may find drowned parasites at the bottom of this..
