My new baby has mites!!

[ReptiGramma]

I just got a 28" Burmese Python from a local pet store (My bad) and while my neighbor was holding her today said that 'he' was covered with bugs!! I have been handling 'him' every chance I get and checking 'him' out very closely and have never seen a bug! But I did find one on 'him'.....I'm pretty sure it is a mite. I saw a small bump under a scale and discovered and killed another one!! The neighbor admitted that she had only seen the 'one' that I killed while she was here. This is my first snake, and I don't want to make any mistakes. 'He' is the most beautiful snake I have ever seen!!! That's 'cause he's my baby. I have wanted a snake for a long time, but I have to admit.....'He' was an 'impulse buy'. After bringing him home and setting him up, I went Online to research. The following day I called the pet store to see if I could return him in trade for a Ball Python....Nope. So, :bugged: for the last week, 'he' and I have been bonding. He doesn't want to eat and now I discover that he has mites.......I need some experienced advice here....Please respond.
