Possible Health Problems .... PLEASE HELP!
Yah so i was cleaning my Creamsicle corn snake's cage the other day and i noticed that there was several black specks at the bottom of her water bowl , I use mulch in my cages so it could be mulch . Also she has several red dots on her stomach but that could be just her stomach .... I could just be crazy but better safe then sorry . So is there any way to tell for sure if my snake has mites? Also she got bit on the haed by a rat near her eye , it is not major but what should i do???

First thing you should do it switch her over to F/T.
Get a magnifying glass and look at the little black things to find out if they have legs etc.
If she has mites, get some Nix.

Start with a live rat/mouse and kill it, then offer it on tongs wiggling it.
Once she eats one of those thaw a rat/mouse till its defrosted and at room temp, warm it a little with a blow-dryer and offer it. (all of my snakes eat food at room temp though)
