    Help!! Is this mites?
    We had Dax out tonight and saw one little almost not there tiny white/beige thing walking on him. Is this mites? This is the first and only we have seen and I want to do something before we have a big problem. Please help!!! Also, please keep in mind that we also have a corn snake. We also have tarantulas in the same room so anything to treat the whatever they ares can't hurt them.

    mites are black and when you squish them between your nails blood comes out.

    As Aleesha has allready said i doubt that its a mite.Do you by chance have any houseplants in your home? It kinda sounds like a aphid(plant bug).See if you can catch it and place it in a zip lock bag and have someone(vet or such) place it under a microscope and find out what it really is.Let us know if you find out.
