MITES?!?

Hey guys!

So today i went in to check on Mushu, and i noticed endless mini bugs crawling through the soil. I have a bio active enclosure, but never seen these. Please tell me they aren't mites :-s

Google wood mites. Wood mites are prefect for bio substrate. Will not harm your tegu. I hope that is what they are!

Many different types of woodlice, tropical, temperate, arid etc., so I'm assuming they are woodlice. You may want to put a small spider or lady bug in there to control their population (obviously they won't overpopulate themselves but this will help with the "swarm" feel of them. Hopefully it helps that is, you could try ground skinks also I hear they actually can thrive in a bio active tegu cage (too quick and shy for tegu to catch) they love foraging tiny bugs off the surface.
