I’ve never been too bothered about tiny critters in my vivs .. it’s all part of nature I guess ..

Re: Mites??? Please help.
The only mites I’ve encountered were tiny .... about 1/8th the size of a grain of rice ..

Try wiping down the snake as I described... mites will be on the snake of there’s an issue with them

Wiped down the snake twice; no small black anything. Still nothing in the sockets or pits, I think maybe it was a false alarm. Thanks so much for the help.

Cook the substrate an clean everything again. I went to paper towels after getting "bad" substrate. Now, go find some predator mites to eat the bad mites.
Good luck!
White mites are (normally) wood mites, no problem for the snake.

Re: Mites??? Please help.
Hey everybody, I now have a solid plan. I’m in the process of deep cleaning the entire enclosure again, Including all his stuff. Going to put him on paper towels for a week to make sure that he is free of mites. Ill cook the rest of this substrate after that if he’s a-ok, and the substrate helps me retain humidity. Thanks again for everybody’s help. Going to order more killers just in case.
