    Wipe the snake with a damp paper towel. Do the black dots end up on the paper towel?

    This. If the dots are on the paper towel, he/she has mites and needs to be quarantined from other snakes and treated.

    Yeah....I realized that made my head spin after I posted it but couldn't think of a better way to say it. Yay for random moments trouble articulating words!
