Sounds like mites. Try and see if you can pull one out without squishing it, if it starts crawling around you got mites. In which case you will need to treat all of your snakes, because these little buggars get around! Pick up some prevent a mite, and follow the directions. Treat once and then about ten days later to kill babies. Should get you back on your feet.
