need some guidance about millipede mites!!

[teeks]

on my florida ivory millipede, there are very tiny white/yellowish mites on her. itd be really hard to get a picture because of how small they are. i do not think theyre parasitic, as they move about her body. but i think it might be annoying her. does anyone know if these mites can spread? i don't want to have to purge them because i think theyre beneficial to her, but i have cats, tarantulas, and snakes. i also don't want these mites spreading on me lol! im very new to owning millipedes.

The only beneficial mites to millipedes that I know of are the ones on wild caught Archispirostreptus gigas the Giant African Millipede.

Sounds like grain mites by the color you mentioned and yes they spread fast and will infest your other animal enclosures if they have moisture, food remains and feces.

A mite infestation requires action. See if you can find a source. What do you feed your tarantulas? Do you keep superworms and if you do are they kept in oats or bran for substrate?
