I am guessing there similiar to mites found on cats and dogs yes? Dont they usually come from rats/mice?
They aren't similar to dog ticks or fleas. Fleas jump a lot and they never stop moving. Snake mites are round and they 'walk' around on the snake. Snake mites are specific to snakes and not rats. In fact, snake mites don't bother lizards and vice versa. Mites are usually specific to a certain scale, skin, fur type which is why snake mites only live in the scales of snakes.
