Tiny black worms?

I recently cleaned out my snake's water bowl and found a bunch of tiny black worms squirming around in it.
I've had this snake for 6 months now, he's about a year or so old and never had any problems before.
I've looked him over and it doesn't look like he has any mites or ticks.
Does anyone have anything that might help me?

Hmm...do you have any pics? My first thought is mosquito larvae?

I don't, I didn't really think of asking a forum until after I had washed them all down the drain.

Searching google though, the basically looked like this:

the google picture looks like mosquito larvae

Yeah That's mosquitoes

Do you not change the water every day? They as all animals need fresh water. Don't mean to sound condescending , just an honest question

I don't change water every day. There's no need to do it on a daily basis. If it's somehow low I will top up. But they get new water once a week...

me 3 :cool:

it may just be that some mesquitos got into the water. it has happened to me before on a diff animal. just watch your water and see if it was a one time thing or something more sinister. If you see it happen again you might have some mesquitos you have to take care of.
