Hello, I just got a bearded dragon from a pet store yesterday and I am still learning how to provide the best care. Their name is Dorito and I believe that they are about 2 weeks old. It's still too early for me to tell their exact gender but I have been referring to them as he. Anyways, about 2 hours ago I thought I noticed a very, and I mean VERRY small, tan bug running down my hand while I was holding him. However, I shook it off thinking that it was just a stray piece of sand and that my eyes were just playing tricks on me as I had just gotten home from a long shift at work. Then just about 20 minutes when I went to check on Dorito I noticed one of these very small tan bugs on his face. He didn't seem to be irritated by it but it is still concerning to me. He is currently in a 10-gallon tank (I have plans to purchase the 40-gallon bearded dragon kit by zoo med next Friday) and has the desert blend ground english walnut shells from the brand Zilla as his bedding. I'm wondering if many I just so happened to get a bag that was contaminated with these little bugs?
