The only way to know if it's parasites is to take a stool sample to your vet. I doubt it was mites that caused it...though you may want to check for them just in case. They will look like little black dots crawling around on your snake, or in the water bowl. I'd try not to handle him much right now, at least not until you figure out what's wrong...where do you keep your humidity at? That could be the problem as to why he isn't shedding correctly.
