Mites or am I just worrying?

[MarineXII]

So this morning I went to check on my snake and saw a tiny say about 0.5mm red creature running on my snake's head... is it a mite or nothing?

it could be. To be sure, thoroughly clean the cage, and give the snake a bath too. Clean all the furnishings and replace the bedding. You may have caught it in time and a simple cleaning could take care of it.

If it was Mites, and you don't do a thorough cleaning, 2 months from now you'll wish you had.

It is just one. I will change the newspaper asap

"It is just one" that you saw. There can be eggs and others. But it's your snake.

True. The snake is in premolt... It has blueish eyes and is chilling in its water bowl but I will give it a bath tomorrow!
