Tiny white bugs in water bowl

[Rusky]

I think I read somewhere here that those are wood bugs or something. I didn't take a picture unfortunately but there were maybe 10-15 tiny white bugs crawling around in the water bowl. Tuna isn't soaking that I've seen and I checked over her body and don't think I see any black spots.

Sounds like ya got a bad batch of substrate. Is it aspen?

[Rusky]

yup, aspen

Those white bugs are wood mites.

[Rusky]

are they any danger to my snake?

[kitedemon]

not really but they might cause additional stress. I'd think about changing suppliers and use different aspen myself.
