RE: Mites or some sort of gland near anus of DP

Cloacal spurs. A spur typically consists of a spur base which is capped with a spur claw; species with spurs have one spur at each side of the anal scale. In some smaller species, the spur is reduced in size and set into a fold of skin at the lateral margin of the anal scale, essentially unnoticeable. In some larger species of pythons, spurs are large, strong and very visible upon inspection. The spur is used by the males during courtship to stimulate and position the females.
