The mites will mostly stay on the host, or at least close by. However, they can escape the cages and roam a bit. You should get some Sevin Dust to dust the floor around every cage...better yet, do the whole room and anywhere you might have carried the lizards to, like whereever you were when you took that picture. It's safe to dust dogs with so you can leave it on your carpets, rugs and floors. I don't want to scare you but you have to be thorough; All it takes is missing ONE mite and you'll have a reinfestation in 2-3 weeks.
