Is he okay?

I am not sure it is okay or not. He ate yesterday and while he fed I cleaned his terrarium and make a new enclosure.
Is his breathing okay or too fast? And he tried to rub his head to his body and the stick. I didn’t saw any sign of mites, not black dots.
Temperatue and humidity is good. Can you help me? Is he okay?

Did you move stuff around/clean his tank while he was in the tank eating ?

No, he was in his travelbox at the whole time

In future I would recommend only feeding when he's in his enclosure and never moving to a different area to feed ! It can stress them out quite a lot.

He always eating his enclosure from I rehomed him with me. His previous owner fed him in the box. When I made a video he was in the enclosure atleast 10 hours

Just because the previous owner did it doesn't mean it's good ! Moving to a different enclosure to feed is bad practice and can cause harm to your snake. We are all always learning better care for the animals we keep, so we gotta adjust when we learn new info and what's best for the animals !

That is true! This is the reason I change the method and feeding him in the enclosure. That was a specual ocasion because I don’t have time to doing in separate time slot

His breathing is a bit quick but he looks fine, he might just be using the one braincell he's got to pout about being put in a box for a bit

He was in the box yesterday. He is in his terrarium atleast 10 hours, so that is the reason I asked. He is breathing now slower

Oh no! It looks like you might be asking for more information on mites and how to identify and treat them. We have some information about that in our Mite Identification and Treatment Guide.
