I found some white specks on the Blue-tongue's head scales... are these mite faeces?
They're at the black strip, next to his eye.
Can't get any pics, but they're also on his back.

yes they are mite feaces...

 

[dihsmaj]

Oh, how would I get rid of them?

Check the forum sticky "Got Mites"

 

[dihsmaj]

I'm not fully sure I have them, they're only on two parts of the body and I don't see any actual mites.

 

[Dannyboi]

Post some pics I am sure people will be able to tell for sure.

 

[Damiieen]

Also better to be safe than sorry.

Agreed. What was recommended to me years ago by a wildlife carer was flea powder+pillow case+ lizard. She swore by it I am unsure about its actual effectiveness but this could be a cheap option or if you just can't find the other stuff. Also mites will spread to your frogs so I think you should wear gloves when handling any of your herps.

I don't have the frog yet, I'm picking it up tomorrow, but I'll get the mite spray tomorrow.
I'll also see if I can take it to the vet.
