I just cleaned out my tank less than a week ago. With soap, bleachlike products, glass cleaner etc., changed mulch, washed the hides...everything I could ever imagine doing...and then last night I noticed something odd.

I have this little yellowish-brown little things moving on the sidewalls of the glass. I killed everyone I saw. Checked my snake and none seem to be on him. Then i went looking for what they might be. Read the VPI tick info...and well I dont think they 100% match the description, but more than likely they are.

How can I get rid of them before they do start messing with my snake. I really dont want to dump all the mulch that I just got.

And curious as to how they just appear. Havent had a problem since I have had my snake, but I use a new type of bark this time and I get this (Repti-Bark)

Please help.
