Hopefully no ones mad that I post so much but I want to make sure I'm doing everything okay. Thanks to everyone's help.
Anyway I changed the bedding for the eggs today and just noticed what looked like a piece of dirt( it was that tiny) but noticed it was moving. It was super super tiny and brown. Is that normal? Should I be worried?

Anyone? I'm kinda freaking out

Was there only one bug? What kind of substrate are you using?

I ask because I have seen these bugs before but only when I left the eastern box turtle eggs in the ground to incubate.

I used an organic potting soil and moss, but it's never been outside! I noticed one but sure there are others. It looked like a piece of dirt with legs so it was SUPER TINY

I would be cautious if I were you, but since I never bred tortoises I can't say anything. Sorry.
