White mites

[Aracnoenthusiast]

I've recently noticed some white mites crawling around in one of my enclosures. I'm going to let it dry out for a week in an attempt to kill them off. My question is, are they harmful? They are also crawling on the inhabitant of the enclosure, a damon diadem. If they aren't harmful I'd feel a lot better. If they are, do I. Need to redo the enclosure, or just let it dry for a while? Thank you in advance

Probably just dirt mites....they are just cleaning up the enclosure.

Thank you, should I dry it out a bit just incase?

Might be springtails.

I see them crawling, do spring tails crawl? I squished a few and they never tried to jump

They usually jump

Dang, I'm thinking mites then. I did a deep appt cleaning to try to fing any bits of feeders. Nothing found. So I'm guessing maybe it's just cause I have it most. I'll let it dry a bit and see if they go away

@Arachnoclown would know more than me so I would say he's right. I just know about springtails because I use them in my tachydromus enclosures.
