oh no - what are they?
Came home from my Cousin's wedding today - straight away checked on Bob my leo and saw these tiny tiny little brown/cream coloured bug things in his viv - not loads but enough for me to be concerned - are these mites? If so what do I do - help me please

It’s possible that there just baby crickets but if you can try to get a pic.

oooh ok err they are ridiculously tiny - as in no more than 2mm long so getting a picture is going to be quite hard - they run like hell though!!!
by the way on the subject of baby crickets how quickly do crickets reproduce as we seem to just get more and more crickets in the box every 3-4 days lol

no they don't look anything like crickets - the ones in the box are just tiny versions of the normal crickets the ones in Bob's viv are like little tiny bugs things lol sorry I'm so vague I have no idea - but I don't know, if they are mites, how they could of gotten in there ?

mites can get in on things like bark and them damn coconut husk things, grrrr... or from other snakes etc if they have come into contact from snakes or eqpt thats been used with other snakes with mites... but that is if they are mites even

I can't get pictures - they're so small they don't show up on the camera
the bark came with him when we got him four months ago and the coconut was bought three months ago brand new - he's not been in contact with any other reptiles - just me and my boyfriend in the last four months. We both wash our hands before and after handling him (which we don't do often) going to pop to Shropshire Exotics tomorrow and see if they can tell us what they are - should be able to trap some and take them with me
