I've never seen a tortoise with mites (thousands viewed) and I've never heard or read any reports of such a thing. I have heard that mites are very species specific. That seems to be true as far as snakes and lizards go. If you are seeing the little white mites that hang out in the substrate I wouldn't worry about it or change the substrate.
