If the other ball was next to the mite enclosure, is there a high probability of mite spreading? I cleaned both enclosures and put paper towels down for now, just in case. Still waiting to get a provent a mite product, until she shows sign of mites again on the cleaned paper towel enclosure.
Yes. Snake mites can travel far distances and if they smell a meal, they will head there. You might get lucky. I got lucky and like i said, the one time i had to deal with mites and they only got on Luna and no one else and all my snakes in the same room in cage stacks. I did treat all the other cages though just in case.

If she is still soaking, you probably got mites. She is trying to drown them to relieve herself. Either that or she the water bowl is the most secure feeling place in the cage. If snakes dont like their hides, some will go into the water bowl if it is small enough and sit there since there is no where else in their mind that is secure. Also they will soak if they get too hot to try and cool off. Now if your temps are good and have been and the hides are fine and she has been using them. And there has been no changes in the caging and she just started soaking out of the blue, i would bet mites. You can also check in the water bowl and you will probably see little black specks of pepper on the bottom of the water bowl.
