could get mites, but not likely. i say let it have fun, if you get mites, deal with it then.

it's very unlikely that it would get mites from letting it out on the front lawn. If you are letting it explore a bit near woods or a forest, I'd worry a little. Just try to keep it from eating any field mice or rodents; in the wild they often have parasites.

your snake will be fine.
the probability of it getting mites from crawling aroundyour grass is next to none.
Unless of course you have lots of wild snakes around.
