I got my snake back in october, as did my roomate. We both have young corns, mine is a dak normal and his is bright red sunkissed or sunglow or in that realm. His snake is somewhat anti social so he doesnt bother with it much, and has failed to clean its cage since we've had them, i try to take as best care of cage cleaning as i can for mine. recently we had a one week break fr the holidays here at college nad i went home as did he leaving the snakes here. When we came back his snake was infested with what looked like small fleas or mites. I was really freaked out and knew that coulnt be good. his snake shed the next night and they dont seem to be on it anymore. When i came home my snake had messed with his substrate quite a bit and had it all over the place, i completely renewed his substrate gave him fresh water and everything. I handeled him today and he seemed to be acting fine just like always loved to go in and around my fingers and everything. But once i put him away and looked closer i saw a very small amount of tiny mite like creatures on my hand and at a closer look a few on him. Im extremely worried about these bc i have no knowledge of health problems and snakes. What should I do about this any help is greatly appreciated i feel like a worried parent here haha so please tell me this isnt a big deal ?
