Pick one of the little black bugs off. Squeeze it between your thumb and forefinger, if it leaves a little red streak it is reptile mites. Not all snakes will soak when they have mites. My RTB did not soak at all.

Sounds like mites. I'd get some nix.
Check the cloaca.

I'd follow Stephans advice and get some nix and do a treatment just incase. (search nix fix on the forums) It lasts a year anyways, and isn't expensive. Better to be safe with sorry, and it is mites you want to nab them asap.
