Do my snails have mites?!

[slugs]

Every so often, I see maybe one little black dot crawl around on my snail’s shells... I’ve seen this twice now and I’m starting to get worried- they’re just babies! I’m super worried, and I really don’t want any of them to be sick... they’re so little...

ETA: I crushed the little black dots when I found them (not directly on the snail’s shell) and that’s that. I haven’t had mites anywhere before.

I only know about one kind of mite that is harmful to snails, and they are white.

I suspect you have nothing to worry about, perhaps they are just tiny bugs that found their way into your snail enclosure.

Okay, thank you. I was supper worried!
