Wait for a T expert or someone who has come across this before, before you totally freak out.
But if it was a scorpion I would be saying "not good, still mites that dont move are bad!"

But wait and see...Tarantulas...MIGHT be different *fingers crossed*

tnone on the joint tho

redknee?

I never had this problem with mights being on the taratula. So i would not be the one to ask this.

the only mite problem i only encounter is in the substrate, all i have done with that is to just change out the substrate.

Immobile is bad -- but are you sure they're mites? I've heard that even the good mites can get into a T's booklungs . . .

i cant see any legs to small they kinda look like tiny tic tacs

That doesn't sound good.

ive been looking online. Is your substrate too moist? That will help mites to breed *this does seem to be talking about walking about ones*

this has a mention on mites, ON a tarantula and being removed physically.
Take a look.

Pull the T out, put it in a plastic container with no substrat in a dark place, the mites might be good mites from the soil that cleans dead feeders and stuff..
