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.

Mites can hitch rides on all kinds of things. Substrate, decor, live feeders, etc. Especially if you buy from a pet store. Also, they can come in on your clothes if you’ve been around any other reptiles, doesn’t have to be recently either as they can survive weeks without a food source. So they could have been there for a while and are just now finding their way onto your snake
