Mites in BTS enclosure

Postby Fossilizedd » Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:33 am

I was spot cleaning my BTS enclosure this morning and I found these small whitish tan bugs in a particularly humid spot. I'm going to be doing a thorough cleaning nonetheless but are they harmless? And how can I prevent them in the future? Apologies because I don't know how to add a picture

They are harmless, and show up from time to time especially in humid environments. They help control mold and do some cleaning up so no need to remove them. They will not bother your lizard.
