Questions regarding mites.

To anyone who has had mites problems with their snake, can you please tell me how they look like when they are young and what they look like as an adult.

Today when I picked up TITAN (Baby Common RTB), I noticed a very small white bug crawling around his head.
When I bought TITAN and the 35gallon tank, I immediately cleaned the tank with bleach and rinsed it several times.

Now I've got forrest bedding as a substrate bought from Super Pet, after seeing this, I'm thinking about returning the bag and maybe going for just regular newspaper even though the appearance wont be satisfying.

Does anyone know if you can get any sort of mites from forrest bedding bought from Super Pet??? When I called Super Pet, the employee said that it might be a WOOD MITE, but to be on the safe side, I should buy NIX (lice treatment for human hair) and spray down the tank including everything in it now, and again in 3 weeks.
Or should I forget about the forrest bedding refund it and just go for regular newpaper?

Any advise will be appreciated.

Thanks Paolo
