Tiny White Bug On Snake?
 

I was taking out my first and only snake at the moment, Clementine (a one year old pueblan milk snake) and I noticed a teeny tiny white bug crawling on her. I rubbed it off and killed it, but I'm really worried about it! I know mites are black and that's what I've always looked out for but I've never heard of white mites on snakes. I read that it could be wood mites, she is on aspen substrate, but is there any possibility that it's dangerous? I'd also love any advice anyone has on what to do

Only white bugs I've had problems with were on mealworms. i baked their bedding at 140, removed the old bedding and washed the bugs as best I could, and then their containers, and finally used vinegar to wipe it out. also tried freezing them but found out that their eggs can stay dormant until optimal conditions come around. Best advice I can offer is a thorough cleaning and a good bedding bake should clear up and mite problems you have. giving your snake a wipe down might not be a bad idea either.

Best of luck,
Connor

Try Googling "Wood Mites", they are white and eat rotting wood. Bad for your window frame, non-harmful to snakes. Snake mites are black.

I agree with above... its probably wood mites... depending on substrate and enclosure type... usually when cleaning out the cages and stuff, i just go ahead for safe measure and spray the bedding with some "screw worm" spray and knock out the potential of having extra creepy crawlies ... but again, those arent really harmful so to speak
