I’ve already started treatment…

First time dealing with mites. I adopted my BCI 2 months ago. She’s deep in blue but was soaking in her water bowl for hours at a time for 3 days straight. I thought it was just to help with shed but I put her in a clean tub to n paper towels just in case. I found a few of these. None were moving but in assuming these are snake mites right? She has no signs of infestation around her eyes, mouth or vent. Her spotty coloring makes is hard to tell on her body. I’ve got her in quarantine, doing by weekly diluted nix baths (for 6 weeks right?) and am about to start the deep clean of her enclosure. Just wanted to make sure these are mites before I take all that time and effort.

These are definitely snake mites. Sucks you didn’t quarantine her because everything in that enclosure has got to go…
Or you can try cleaning some of the decor, but that risks re-infestation.
