    Re: Mites.

    VPI does, as well as a description of what they look like. They look just like....well....mites. In your water bowl, if there are black things that look like pepper or poppy seeds, that's mites.

    Frankykeno also has a picture.

    Ok, apparently this is a tick. I'll add it to my gallery in case someone needs to know the difference.

    Oh great. I've been told by several it's a tick. Now I have no idea what to believe. I only found 1 of them.

    A mite is not the same size of 1/2 a scale - that's a tick.
