What does a Mite look like?????

not the cooking PAM :P
PAM as in Provent-A-Mite its a can that you spry into the enclosure let dry yadayada(follow directions on can) it kills the mites simply put
better to ask than not know:gj:

Another thing, if it is mites, make sure that you take out all his decorations. If they're wood, bake them, everything else bleach overnight to drown the darn things. :)

Those look like tics! Are they mites?

Definitely mites..they are sitting in one of the depressions on some paper towel, to give you some reference to size. I just used the macro lens to take the pic.

Just mt opinion but those look like ticks. Mite i have personally see have been TINY! like head of a mechanical pensil. .05

I know what ticks look like. These are adult, blood engorged, and somewhat flattened (because I wiped them out of the water bowl) snake mites. They can get up to about 1.3 mm.
