...yes it looks to be a well-formed healthy BP turd. No you don't diagnose mites from snake excreta. They are easily diagnosed by examining the snake itself-look for tiny (adult mites are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence) moving 'specks' around the eyes, in the gular (midline) fold under the mandible, and in the cage (ie water bowl for drowned mites). You'll KNOW if you got 'em!
