: I just bought a Luecistic Rat Snake that I fell in love with at a pet shop. He seems to be a little nippy and nervous. Will this go away? I also noticed very tiny bugs around his face when I got him home. Is this mites? He is in a large tank with my other corns (at the suggestion of the pet shop owner). Is every corn gonna get mites now? I'm very new to all of this and I could sure use a little bit of help! Thanks!

Yes, all the snakes in that cage (probably any other cages in the same room too) have mites by now. You should have inspected him for mites when you got him home. A lot of people quarentine new snakes too.
As far as being snippy, some texas rats ( is it a leucistic texas rat?)will never change and some will be snippy all their lives.
