hey guys! today while cleaning my dragons cage i noticed a few nat like bugs in there. they jumped kinda like fleas but are not fleas at least not the kind ive seen on my dogs and cat. im worried they might be some kind of mite. i diddnt see any on him only in the sand. does anyone know where i could find pics of different kind of mites. thanks for any help

I don't think mites can jump. Perhaps fruit flies, there for the veggies??? That would be my guess.
