Oh yes of course take precautions because at a glance it's hard to tell what kind they are if they haven't fed on the blood of the animal and gorged their selves. Also no one likes to see mites even if they are harmless. I would never kill a snake if it had mites. Now if the snake got a disease from biting another snake and passing it to mine then yea humane euthanisia by a vet after testing would be an option depending on disease and all others would be tested as well. Throwing them in a freezer for mites is beyond inhumane.
