I am seeing little white mites in my bed a beast and I want to know where they are coming from. I clean out all the droppings and dead crickets every day. I had them once already and I cleaned out the aquarium and soaked all the decour in scalding hot water and still they have come back. Are they harmful to my toads? I see them on her. how do I get rid of them once and for all? also what the heck are they?

1 lined gecko
2 uromastix
1 electric eel

what you've most likely been encountering are springtails. I see those sometimes in all of my frog terrariums. If they look oblong in shape and white/silvery in color it's not a mite.
Springtails are harmless detrivores that eat any decaying matter and breed in humid envrionments (i.e damp substrate).
