New Snake Owner - Lots of questions

Both of those scenarios seem fairly unlikely to me...

Funny, because everybody I've spoken to, including vets, other reptile owners and several different breeders said those are probably the most likely possibilities. If she had mites when I got her I would have noticed somewhere within the half hour I spent handling her. These mites came several days after I brought her home. I'm not here to ruin a breeder's reputation. Adieu

Actually, I've read that mites can hide in a snakes cloaca for years before being discovered, so there is definitely a possibility it was there when the snake was purchased.

The fact that it was a "reputable" breeder doesn't mean a thing. Anyone can get mites.
