Normal?

Dutch, it's been mentioned here a few times. I'm not saying I believe what's been said, but the more you hear....

I don't know how long snake mites can live in substrate without a host, so an answer to that question might clear things up a bit. Freezing is a good idea. When I used aspen back in the day, I always froze it.

I buy my substrate in bulk, so I always have it in my garage for at least a few months, then I freeze it on top of that.

Plus I Provent-A-Mite that stuff too!

Good call, you can never be too safe when it comes to mites!
