That red underside could be normal coloring. It could be from too much belly heat. Could be from laying in urea or regurge. Could be from excessive dampness. Could be from a lot of things.
Do you keep the snake in an "Aquarium", or home made wooden cage?
What kind of substrate do you use? How often do you change it?
As for supplements use -- RepCal "Herptivite" and "RepCal "Phosphorous free Calcium with Vitamin D3". Sprinkle a little on the rear end of the food. Good idea with frozen-thawed rodents. Probably not necessary with freshly killed/stunned rodents.
You may or may not have mites, but the belly thing isn't any indication of mites I've ever heard of.
