Which kind of mites? The little white grain mites? If so, grain mites are harmless. They're just a pain to get rid of. Reducing humidity in the area with a dehumidifier usually does the trick after a while.

I'm not sure. They're very small and mostly white, but there are some that are brown/redish. I've heard getting rid of them is a lot of work. I wanna keep the adult roaches, but I kinda wish I could feed the small ones to my beardie... I don't wanna risk him getting sick tho. Do you know what these brown mites could be?
I'm not sure about the brown ones. Can you post some photos of them? The tiny white ones are likely grain mites (they look like sand) and as I mentioned, using a good dehumidifier nearby should get rid of them.
