>>ok when i looked in argos tank just now i saw a huge poop and litle bugs crawling all over it and in the tank.. they were very small and kind of pinkish/white maybe. i know mites are black dots and i dont see any of the bugs on the snakes. i went ahead and took out all of the bedding and hides and stuff. i cant go to the pet store today cause it is too late. should i go ahead and wash out the tank and put them back ini read you can use 10% bleach in 90% wateer to clean with should i do that. we also have roaches running around could it be that? and if so can they hurt the snake?

If it was fresh, then it's possible what you saw were worms that might be infesting the snake. However, if the substrate you are using is something like bark or dirt substrate and you keep the enclosure humid enough, then it was probably springtails or soil mites.
