Black and white bug? That doesnt sound like a mite. Have you seen any other bugs.
Go ahead and clean the tank, rinse it well...and if there are more bugs then treat the enclosure. Can you get pictures? Mites are really tiny. Google it online. Might not be what your snake has.
Breathe! It wont kill your snake overnight, and...if you’ve already gotten the stuff, keep it for if it is or if you ever get an infestation. No need to spray toxins in the enclosure if its not mites.
