Yes letting your snake soak will drown the little pests.Make sure you leave enough room for the snake to have its head above the water line at all times.If you do not your snake could drown.Mites are real small and ticks look like the ticks do when your outdoors during the summer do.If you do see ticks be very carefull when you remove them as you can cause a infection in that spot.If you do remove put some neosporin on the area to prevent infection.Also if you do not feel sure of yourself doing this make a appointment at the vet.Make sure the vet is qualified with reptiles.Sounds like you bought a wild caught ball python.Good luck and keep us posted
