I cleaned the tank and gave him a bath, cleaned everything in the tank. Are these the same as black mites? Is that enough, what I've already done.
The link I posted says they're pretty much harmless.
They feed on mold.

Washing everything seems like enough.

I wouldn't worry much, myself.

They may have come in on something else and set up house or the humidity spiked for some reason.

I've had a rip of a time with the heat/humidity wave we just had.

Ran a fan 24/7 just to get humidity in the enclosures under control.

Putting paper towels in seems to have helped 'soak it up' somewhat.

I bought aspen shaving at petco and got a bunch of red spider mites everywhere.

Threw out the shavings, cleaned the mouse tank and now they're gone.

They didn't bother the snakes but they tormented the mice something awful.
