Please help, skink has mites....

[Sophi]

I just noticed my poor blue tongue has mites. I'm not sure how this has happened. I've had him for a while and I've never noticed them before. What do I do? Will they hurt him? Will they make him sick? They are tiny and black but I saw one on his leg and then I found a few in his aspen bedding.

Besides rinsing the tank and adding all new bedding and seeing if I can find some sort of mite remover in the pet store, how else do I get rid of them? I have two snakes but I have never seen any mites on any of them.

He has some drift wood and a wooden hide in his tank, how do I disinfect these safely? I dont want to use anything that might be toxic to him. Would it be better to just throw his wood away and get all new stuff?

I keep all my reptiles in the same room. Two snakes, my skink and two crested geckos. Will I have to disinfect the whole room? I let my skink crawl around on my bed and floor and couches... are these likely contaminated too? Are reptile mites anything like fleas? Can they jump out of the tank and spread to other parts of my apartment? I might be being paranoid but I have had bedbugs before and I'm kind of freaking out about this.

Any advise would be amazing.

Thank you...
