important because mites can also spread diseases among snakes.

Routine humidity at 55-60% is fine, but increase it (to about 70% or so) when snake is for sure in "shed" cycle.
I was sure to get him from a good breeder online (xyz reptiles). I was sure to look through reviews and unboxings and to see how long they bred and sold snakes. I'm kind of doubtful he came with them because I had him on a towel for hours before I even got home and I didn't notice any black specs on it. So I'm still lost on how he even got mites (if he has them)

He went back into hiding about half an hour ago. How do I know if he's going into shed?
