Mrtoad Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Hello. My first post in this forum. We are getting ready to set up a bioactive vivarium for our crested gecko. I had purchased some dwarf whites recently to put in the vivarium and I put the small container they came in which was a small deli cup of ABG (that is what the reptile store called it) and tossed it in a larger tub along with a gallon bag of the same ABG mix. This was maybe a month or so ago. I looked today and saw tons of these little ones crawling all over. I didn’t even notice them at first. The are about the size of a grain ofsand. I am assuming they are baby dwarf whites but just wanted to make sure they aren’t something else that shouldn’t be there. On that video they are bigger as I used a macro lens but I still can’t see them well enough. They are super tiny. Thanks and sorry if it is a dumb question. Thx Video of the bugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allpet Roaches Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yep, they look like adult predatory mites. That is about as big as they'll ever get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
