Was it wedged in the scales? Was it round and circular? Then YES it is mites, and you need to take your snake out of the cage and spray the cage down with PAM (Provent a Mite) or Equate bedding spray. You need to soak your snake in a warm water bath with a little drop of dial soap in it too, or you can rub him with Reptile Relief (found at any petstore). Or you can consult a good herp vet.

Sorry if i sound a bit rude with this but you REALLY should have researched about your snake before you even thought about buying her. Obviously the guy at the pet store didn’t know squat. Research a bit, and we’ve told you before the cage requirements aren’t good either at what you have them at. So..really, serioulsy listen to us and get what you’re snake needs ASAP.
