So, I just got a rat from my local reptile store and noticed while my snake was eating him small white and red things were coming from the rat onto my new spider ball python.
Will these just die from not being on a rodent? Or are these something I will need to deal with.
If I do need to make provisions what would be the best way to get rid of these terrible things?
I've never had a mite or tick problem in any reptile. Hope someone can help.

Thank you.
