    I wonldn't worry about the from my experiend it's when they stard crawling all ove the spider when it stars to get bad. I had a few bad outbreaks a while back but managed to remove them.

    I use a fine paint brush that I dipped in vaselene and used it to brush the mites of from round it's fand. All the mites tend to stick to the vasalene. If there are also any clusters round the legs too dab vasalene on to the mate clusters this sufficates them. I found this worked very well for me and both T's are still alive and quite happy and mite free. Also the vasalene is non toxic and dient harm my T's
