im sure they are just little mites, you will find them on anything that is dead or dying if left for long enough, you also find them in areas of high humidity, as far as i know they will not do your reps any harm but instead they acually help to keep the viv clean by eating dead bits and peices and and the odd bit of pooh that you might miss when spot cleaning, i wouldnt worry about them
