That's pretty funny, thanks! But it's always better to be aware & worried about mites (& other parasites) than to be oblivious to them. So, A+

Welcome to the forum and the fun of living with snakes....& trust me, it gets easier. Your vet is probably having a good chuckle too, ie. speckled snakes
are good for business!

BTW, you might want to buy a jeweler's loupe, you could have checked those spots yourself for less money. I love my loupes, I use them in my other
passionate hobby & they aren't very expensive at all. Useful for things like removing splinters too.
