Yeah I am unsure what they are this is my second snake my first one died (yay thank you petco!) there is no other snakes in the house my husband bought me a Zilla Tank setup, and we cleaned everything and took bedding I have never seen before, but these little bugger are bugging him like he will jolt when they go in his eye or in his nose and these little buggers move quick! my husband has trouble seeing them (glasses and closer things are fuzzy) However I am just concerned for his health. Taking him in tomorrow FOR SURE! My husband is pissed cause if these are mites ITS THE SECOND! SNAKE! but we bought nate (father inlaw) and he was fine too.
