Can any type of plant parasite or mite attack a leopard gecko or a tortoise? I know people plant live plants in enclosures... But can a plant mite hurt a reptile? Are there any mites that are an omnivore?

I'm not really a bug person, buy my instinct is to say no.

I've never heard of any mites that eat plants. I've never heard of any omnivorous mites. I don't think any of the normal bugs associated with plants will bother any reptiles.
