Can someone help me identify this spot on my BP?

[_Retro]

The way I test to see if they are mites is by, putting my nail in the middle of the black speck. If there is blood, it is a mite!

Otherwise, I'm not sure what else it could be?

Do you mean just pushing on the black dot and seeing if any blood comes out or around the scale?

If you suspect mites then get some reptile spray and apply to the paper and snake. Do not spray on the head just spray the snake and let it run through your hands to apply it on its body. Make sure you remove the water dish for a day or so when you do this so they don't crawl through it and then drink it. Try that and see what happens.

I'm definitely going to buy a mite killer, however I'm not sure which one to buy! I heard provent-a-mite is good, but it can harm snakes. What would you recommend?
