I noticed some mite like bugs in the crevices of the shell of my tortoise. They are really small, clear and brown in color. Their legs remind me of those of ticks. He is a few hours a day in his enclosure a couple times a week. I have been soaking him twice a day since he had some bladder stones.

Do they bother my tortoise? What are they? How do I get rid of them?
