Yes, it's mites. Get it to a vet.

To begin with, I would totally clean their tank, Then get a little piece of that sticky paper you hang on your ceiling to catch flies, place it in a small plastic camera film tub with holes in it so as to let the bugs/mites in, but to keep the snake out. Leave it in there for 24 hrs & repeat I think its about once a week for 2-3wks. As well as getting her to a vet. Someone PLEASE corrwect me if I am wrong on this one, but this is only what I have read.

only thing i have used is nix, and that worked for me. not sure about vapoma...havent tried it. do get your snake out of its enclosure right away, and into a fresh one with paper towel as substrate.
