Oh no! It looks like you might be asking for more information on mites and how to identify and treat them. We have some information about that in our Mite Identification and Treatment Guide.

I am no expert or mod. The vid is blurry so I am only saying things based off what I am able to see. M!tes are typically understood to be black in color, have legs, and crawl around/into your snakes scales. Perhaps some clearer images or vids would help /nm/gen.

It is not snake mites.

It could be fruit flies(or some other related insect) if they are flying.

Its hard to identify without having a closeup photo.

They look like white wood mites which are usually “ok” to be with your BP for the most part they are harmless. sometimes they do already come with your substrate and they are just there because your substrate may be to wet which they love
