MITES!!!

[coferj]

I've never seen a mite before, but I pulled my brb out today and there were little clear/white bugs on his head and a couple crawling over his body. If they are mites, or whatever they are...what is the best way to get rid of them? I'm assuming that I'm going to have to redo his substrate and stuff, but how do I treat him? Thanks, all...first time for me for this stuff. We have a cat, do you think that the mites could have come from her, or just the area that we live in?

Take a damp, white paper towel and run it down the length of the snake. After this is done examine closely the possible mites you've extracted. Tell us about your setup as well > i personally have never seen a "white" mite. If you've got live plants in there this could possibly be light colored aphids.
Good luck.

There aren't any live plants in the house, and he's never been outside. The only ones in the house that go outside are the humans, and I have not noticed any bugs on myself nor any other members of the household. In any event, if they are what you believe them to be, what would be the best way to rid my snake of them?
