First time owner here!

Please forgive my shitty camera, my boyfriend is the one with the good phone. But hey I spotted this mite. I did research and some mites are nice and just catching a ride, but let's just say it freaks me out a bit.

I'm wondering, do I leave it? Because my Chutney has been in a stress curl in her little dark corner for two weeks now. Is it the mite? Is it the cold? Is it the general (boring) house noise? What can I do to make her feel super at home?

Notes: I just spotted one. We live in a carpet house. All windows are closed shut for bugs. We dont use bug spray. We dont have acrylic enclosures for cross ventilation YET.

Questions: How do mites work? How to prevent them safely and finally what are those white dots on her legs?

First time owner here! Meet Chutney♡ Always wanted a T, and watched years of videos on husbandry and care before I got her. Biggest fear is messing up since she is a pre-planned b-day gift. She's a Chaco Golden Knee.

She eats like a champ (We feed her once a week but we are stopping for a week or two because shes a healthy plump), moves, webs, drinks water and scratches her butt (it's so cute!)

The previous owner said she molted 2 years ago, so my worst fear is a stuck molt or a delayed one.

(White dust isn't moving)

There is no sign of this white dust in her enclosure.

She webbed up the surface when I rehomed her, into some deeper substrate and a sterilized skull.
