I agree, sounds like mites. My advice, order some PAM Provent-A-Mite and pick some Reptile Spray up from the pet store while you wait for the PAM to ship.

PAM is what you use on the tub, NEVER on the snake

And Reptile Spray can be sprayed on the snake

And yes mites can be hard to get rid of, and they are a big deal because they can and will kill your snake if left untreated. I use both of these products, but mainly rely on PAM.
