I found these little white bugs of some sort in two of my T's water dishes tonight while doing maintaince..... One was my adult OBT, which stays around 60 - 65 % humidity. The other was one of my Cobalt Blues which is always at least 80% humidity. These two tanks are on opposite ends of my T room, and there are no other tanks that have them.... I know that they are bugs because a bunch were floating in the water, and some were crawling around the water dish outside. There are NOT any crawling on the glass, lid, or spider. I can't see any in the substrate. They are SUPER small, and kinda look like a grain of rice, but WAAAAYYY smaller.... I am always really good about removing carcasses.....
I have been collecting T's for less than one year, and I saw this one time before.... It was with my Fireleg about 5 months ago. That time, I just cleaned out the water dish, and made sure that there were no feeder carcasses anywhere, and replaced the water dish back where it was. I haven't seen any in there since....
I am terrified that it might be mites, but also have read about small white bugs that are NOT harmful to T's. I want to get this fixed right away!!! Please anyone..... What are these? What can I do to make sure they are all gone? What do I do to ensure that it is not a problem in the future?
Thanks in advance for any help and info!!!
