RE: Eggs & mites??

The larvae of flies are maggots, not mites.

It sounds like the person who orginally posted has some sort of mite, though I know of no kind that comes from or attacks eggs.

I suspect that the humidity in the incubation box is to their liking and they're reproducing.

It's probably just incidental that they're in with the snake eggs.
