If your snake has mites, you will probably see little black dots moving, usually around the face and eyes. Also check in the water bowl for little black specks. Look very closely because they can be hard to see. If you think you might have them, switch out any wood substrate for paper towels and they'll be a lot easier to spot...

When I saw them on a snake, they were little black beads that were crawling between the scales, some were embedded and just stayed between scales. I've never seen them in an enclosure but I've heard they are black specks found in the water dish..etc.

Re: What does a Mite look like?????
i found a couple white things crawling on him physically but i got them off and have not seen them since however i did notice 2 or 3 brownish black ones inside of one of the hides how ever i did not see and thing that was brown or black crawling on him im worried. i cleaned out the entire enclosure and switched to paper towels but i can not get the paper towels to stay in place he constantly moves them any suggestions?

Paper towels won't really stay in place. It's more frustrating to us than it is to them...

Buying PAM can never hurt....especially if you are unsure. I know I wouldn't want any kind of bugs in my enclosures...mainly because I don't want bugs in my house
