Does this look like mites to you!?

[johnny 00111]

hi there looking at my P. irminia slings and seen some white dots lingering around, now i have 6 of these slings and looks like maybe 2 have the same specs. the slings have been in their enclosure for no more then 3 days and only been fed once since with the remains of prey removed once finished any thoughts on what this could be?

it is most likely poop, but you should defenetly read other post and see what they have to say first

I agree, it's probably just feces. You won't normally see mites in daylight, but there are good methods for checking up on them at night. If you're worried, you could always swap enclosures or try to take a look at the white specks under a magnifying lens or microscope, but it's probably nothing to worry about.

I agree with the others. Poo.

Also, if you look closely and see the white specs moving then there could be mites.

All in all looks like nothing to worry about

Cute sling
