You noticed them five days ago and your just addressing it now? Take everything out of the tub clean everything out . Give your snake a bath and drown the mites that living off him now. Look around the eyes and pits, mites love those areas. You can gently pop them out of his scales. They will be hiding under the scales so look extremely close. Change over to paper towel substrate. All you can do is make your snake as comfortable as possible until the PAM comes in. When it does follow the directions on the can to the tee and they will die, PAM is great stuff. Good luck.
