White round "eggs" or bugs???

[ivylea77]

I have had this setup for some time with no problems. Lately I've noticed the development of "eggs" in the soil closest to the glass. I have not seen flys or anything in the tank that is not supposed to be, but I have NO idea of what this could be. They are small, pinhead size, and whitish. Any suggestions? I have pics, but they are not close up to really see any detail.

Post the pics. I have a guess but the pics will help me out.

Here are some pics. The dates are wrong, though.

I have the same stuff in my oldest tank. I think its actually some kind of mold.

No, I have not seen anything like that.

oh...so then i think it may be mold... I would take out everything bleach the tank then put it back with new substrate

Lol that is not what I was thinking. I am thinking maybe mites. But I can't see the0 pics for some reason.

You may be able to see them in my album...Not sure about mites, though. I keep numerous reptiles and have never had mites....there is a first, but like I said there has been nothing moving. They just look so much like little eggs. I wouldn't think mite eggs would be this visible.
I thought mold, too, but b/c they look like eggs I wasn't sure...hmmm. Would really like to figure this out!
