    If you've had the snake for two years, and not taken in any other snakes more or less recently, and not handled any other snakes recently (at a shop or expo), I'd not suspect mites.

    I'd not treat for mites -- even with ineffective products like the one in the photo -- without some evidence that there are mites or some reason to do so preventatively (as with keepers who use PAM on all new arrivals).

    Troubleshooting questions:

    "hasn’t eaten since 11/3/23 " -- is that within his normal feeding habits?

    When did he last shed?

    Is there a moist hide in the enclosure?

    Is the only heat source the CHE that's above the water bowl?
