Re: can some one please post pics of mites!!!
The easiest way to tell, small specks no bigger than pepper from a pepper shaker that move.
You can stroke a snake with mites and see them on your hands, moving tiny black specks equals mites.
I have seen mites so thick the sucked all the blood from the host snake and killed it.

Re: can some one please post pics of mites!!!
Oh my, they are butt munching that poor snake.
I usually have the utmost respect for life, but snake mites are one species that I would actually like to see extinct.
May I use that photo for a guide to help others?

Go ahead randomly found on an extensive search. And I was surprised to see them in the butt as well. Poor snake.

I know there isn't anything funny about this, but reading this quote I couldn't help but laugh.

But I agree, poor snake, and I hope the best for the OP's snake as well!

Re: can some one please post pics of mites!!!
My BP has speckles but when you look real close and hard you can tell that they are just scale marking, admittedly i did try to pick one of at one point thinking it was a mite but it woudlnt come off as it is just his markings!
I would get him out and wipe him down with a slightly damp piece of kitchen towel, it he has mites you will see them on the towel.
