So I just signed up because I'm panicking a little. I got my first reptile, a BP on the 9th. I have been dreaming of owning one for so many years, and finally got one. My ball python is a spinner blast morph and I got him from a local shop/breeder.

He is a juvenile- not sure how old- he's a probably about 20 inches long. His body is bright yellow with brown markings, and his belly is white.

I didn't think of it sooner but I just checked over his body and belly, and I noticed these tiny black flecks.. I couldn't get a good photo as he was very active and didn't like me looking at his belly. They're little tiny pin point sized blackish brown flecks on his belly. I couldn't get a better photo than these..

can anyone tell me if they are mites? and if they are, how I should go about getting rid of them?

Also, tomorrow I am bringing him into the shop I got him from, and am going to ask the breeder..
