mites.

when they're little, they're white
then they grown via brown to black
and when you pop them they're red inside (blood)

When i popped the one i found in the water bowl on my new boa, it was black inside???

hm
interesting
can't say mine have popped red every time
sometimes it is just a black smear
perhaps those are ones that have been dead for a while - or hungry
maybe the red ones have just feasted on snake blood
