Hi thank you for your reply. I tried the damp paper towel trick you mentioned with both of the girls (one was much more cooperative than the other lol) and I did not see anything on the paper towels. I was even able to get Athena (the enchi) to pull her head backwards through the paper towel multiple times as I gently wrapped it around her head. As for where another type of bug could have come from, like a wood mite maybe, we have lots of random bugs in our apartment. Silverfish, little flying bugs (not gnats or flies, I think they are drain flies but idk) and when we first moved in a few months ago, there were tiny brown bugs I saw moving on the walls occasionally, I was able to get a picture of one of those too. I only found out they were brown from the photo I took, otherwise they were too small for me to tell. The apartment was newly renovated I believe and their was a layer of sawdust everywhere when we first moved in. I haven't seen those tiny brown bugs since October though. My fiancé mentioned maybe it's a super tiny baby silverfish? But I've never seen one that small and idk how two would've gotten into each enclosure. I'm worried it could maybe be the VERY beginning of a mite infestation and that could maybe explain why there was nothing on the paper towels?
Oh and if I find another one I'll try crushing it on a paper towel to see if there's any blood but it was so small so I'm not sure I'd even be able to see any blood, but I'll definitely give it a try. Hopefully I don't find any more though.
