Wood mites or snake mites?

I'm not sure if that is just how his pattern is or if they are marks from mites. I never see them crawling on him just in the water bowl where he spends most of his time. So what do you guys think wood mites or snake mites?

I'm honestly no expert, and especially not of cornsnakes, but if it's soaking in it's bowl, i'm thinking those are snake mites. It looks like they are under the belly scales too. Wait for someone else to chime in though. Good luck figuring it out and ridding him of them if that's what they are.

If you can tell by the picture he isn't soaking in water he is underneath the water bowl but he always is there because it is difficult to get him out of there. It is a hiding spot and water bowl.
