Any thoughts? Mites? What should I do? And can it wait until this coming weekend (5 days from now)? And are our geckos at risk from the critters, too?
I have heard of people getting wood mites in cypress mulch..However a treatment of PAM will be enough to cure the problem.

As for the geckos..Yes if they are reptile mites then they are at risk without proper QT procedures. Even with proper QT there is still a slight risk of transferal.
