You got it! Glad I could be of some assistance. Reptile mites are pretty easy to spot. They tend to stay on the host and can be easily found in the water bowl (where the snake will soak to try to get them off) or by running a piece of papertowel down the body of the snake. Also examining around the eyes and in that little slit on the underside of the head.
