Mites?

[Bjorgly]

I just put my G.pulchra sling in its new cage 2 days ago and already i see little white SUPER SMALL things moving as though they were drowning in the water dish...I immediately switched the water but what are these little things and how'd they get there so soon?

re

they may have come with your t as suprise stoaways, i got 2 inverts form a guy and i have never had any mites before until i recived those, they were the only ones that had them and the end result was 2 dead inverts in 3 days, to say the least i was quite po'ed and vowed to never buy from that person again, he in turn told me that the dealer he got them from and said they arrived covered with them! also said an adult king baboon from the same source had them had died(predatory mites perhaps?), i would quarantine the t if i were you and try to get rid of them, can you tell i don't like receiving t's with mites on them?
