lol, a minor case of the mites. Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard.Thats like saying, "I have head lice, but I'm still healthy" and then expect other people to want to wear my hat. There are plenty of people with snakes without mites, get one of those. If it has mites and the guy hasnt gotten rid of them yet and thinks its ok as long as the snake only has a few, I'd call into question his ability to keep any snake healthy let alone the one hes offering to sell you for "a good deal".
