Your probably talking about the heat pits. Mites will normally hang around the head in neck area, looking for a nice spot underneath the scales, in the eyes, around the nose and heat pits. Double check to make sure that isn't a mite. If it helps to get it out, give your Ball python a bath and see if it goes away.
