yeah, they're mites. i was able to pull one out. i did a bunch of reading in the forums and on the web, everyone is saying to soak the lizard in water for awhile and spray the cage down with prevent-a-mite, and then spray again in 2 weeks to kill the eggs. i checked one of my other lizards and i found some tiny tiny little mites on him too so i guess my whole dang collection is most likely infected. GREAT. my question now is, will these things infect my house like fleas do or will they just die off if they have nothing to feed on?
