Hello everyone i just purchased a tiny H. maculata sling from a shop here in Tucson and am disappointed to find mites. I've gotten three other slings from this shop and all were fine. I immediately got rid of the substrate he came with and washed out the container then replaced with fresh coco fiber. The problem is i see a couple mites on the sling itself. I've read this might not be a huge deal if there's only a few and that a molt will take care of it, but who knows. I don't want the remaining mites to lay eggs and re-infest the substrate. I searched threads on here but only found a couple vague responses on each thread. Anyone have any ideas or should i just try and wait it out?
Sorry i'm not able to get a decent picture. The sling is maybe as big as a finger nail.
