Without seeing pictures of the mites in question, there is no way to tell whether they are beneficial or commensal mites or harmful parasitic mites or common pest species (such as grain mites) that feed on leftover food or other debris or waste products in the cage.

Also, there is no need to post a new thread every few hours just because you have not yet received an answer. If you are concerned that your original thread has gone unanswered for a long time, you can "bump" it by posting an additional comment in that thread to move it to the top of the list, rather than starting a new one.

In any case, you might have better luck asking about any issues related to millipedes or centipedes in the Myriapods forum: http://arachnoboards.com/forums/myriapods.3/ - but they will still need to see the mites in question before they can hope to identify them. Otherwise, it's just random guessing.
