    Mites or colouration

    I noticed these on my boy today I checked heat pits and chin and eyes and can’t see anything he has a few areas like this I don’t know if it’s mites or colouration I’ve ordered Taurus predatory mites just incase and when they area I will be stripping the substrate renewing and using them anyway but just wondered if these could be his colouration as I don’t have much morph information at all apart from possible pastel yb

    Mites move. They also wipe off on a damp paper towel.

    My female has teeeeeeny speckles like that too, hers are all inside the alien heads and towards the belly. They do make me do a double-take sometimes:

    I put it down to colouration when I first got him but today started worrying and second guessing so I’ve bought predatory mites just to make sure
