His pattern is so beautiful it will definitely turn out blue to greenish blue in the future, ill take a pic in a bit here to show you the little guy
The problem isn't with the mites you can see. The young are microscopic and must be treated or they will re-infest your snakes. If you wait until you see them your problem is already big.
May I suggest Provent-A-Mite http://www.pro-products.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&It emid=59Placing

Placing the snake in a warm and humid shed box will force many mites off the snake but there again it's the ones you can't see that will be growing.
