Thanks Deborah,

I did pre-treat to an extent, the tub was treated with PAM around 2-3 weeks ago, and as soon as I saw the mite on him, I treated him with natural chemistry, but I didn't know if there was anything else I could use to specifically treat his eye/head that I hadn't already done.

I do have him in quarantine, and I will be treating all my other enclosures asap, when my new can of PAM comes in. (Of course, now is when I would run out of the stuff.)

So could he have mite eggs on him that transferred from his old enclosure to here? As I understood it mites will solely lay eggs in the substrate, which I know I didn't bring any substrate home with him. And what is the timeline on mite lifecycle? How quickly to they reproduce, hatch, or grow?
