Hi guys. I found a bunch of these little things running around one of my H.lividum tanks. I suspect it's a mite of some sort. I managed to catch one and put it under my microscope. This is the little devil at x20. Can anyone identify it? Is it dangerous?
The tarantula in the tank is sealed away in pre moult, so I don't really want to have to clean her out unless absolutely neccessary. I will be cleaning her out regardless after she has moulted.
I have loads of springtails in the enclosure keeping things nice and tidy. Aren't springtails supposed to keep a lid on mites?
Thanks, Jamie.
