Is it not the eco earth?
One reason I like to mix substrates is the eco earth can be dusty and get in their pits and nostrils. If you put the snake in a bath they will usually swim and blow air out of their nose which clears out the eco earth.
I mix cypress, eco, and repti bark and like it very much.

Re: help!!! something on his mouth
it is zoomed eco earth, but i was doing a lot of tank work (removing substrate to place repticarpet underneath, taking some substrate out) before he came home so the coconut fiber that's in there is probably pretty thin and dusty.

Right, I meant is the spots and the stuff on the snakes mouth eco earth?
Have you tried to rub/wipe it off? A damp qtip could be used to clean the snakes mouth.

Re: help!!! something on his mouth
no! that's why i'm worried! i tried to clean it off with the small time-frame he allowed me to grab him and it was like a scab or something. i couldn't clean it off. same with the tiny spots on his body, they were on his scales that i couldn't remove. i have no idea what happened or what i did and i'm so worried.

i haven't tried a wet q-tip, would it be okay if i took him out again to try? i don't want to stress him out, though he seemed fine while being handled earlier.

If you are sure its a scab removing it is probable not the best thing to do. If you think it could just be dried substrate I would give it a try.
Feeding tomorrow will probably be best if you handle it to get a better idea of what it is.

Re: help!!! something on his mouth
just tried a q-tip and it's definitely not coming off. it's like a burn? the only thing i could think of is he maybe found the probe and tried to bite it, but it was hot? could the probe even get that hot if my temps are right? i did have a temperature spike today from a space heater that was left on. could something have gotten too hot that he touched? i feel terrible. do you think he needs to visit the vet?

If you are talking about a probe to a tstat is should NOT be inside the tank. It needs to be moved ASAP.
Do you have a heat lamp sitting on top of the cage? If so its possible it touched the screen that's hot from the bulb or che. This is just one of the many reason I suggest using lamp stands.
As for the probe being hot or being bitten, that would not happen and would not be the cause of this.

Between the uth and the tank. You may also want to try and handle him over some white paper towels to see if any of those black dots fall off and if they are mites...
