So I bought this exo Terra tank with 2 hyla cinerea. The tank was already put together. I kept noticing these little white bugs appearing in their water enclosure. I would clean it out everyday and they would always be right back in there. So I tore the whole tank apart cleaned it put it back together then I noticed in the water bowl today more! How is this possible lol They are little bitty tiny white things...please help it I would love to figure out what's going on.
White little bugs? Do they look like springtails?
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

I honestly have no idea. I have never had springtails in a tank before. They are so small I can't tell what they are.
That's what they look like in the water little white things all in a group together like that Amy. Is it possible for them to be in there even after I tore down the tank and put it back together? I am guessing if it is them then maybe the previous owner had them in there idk...
Even if you don't add them yourself, they usually tag along in soil, plants, wood, or other additions. Like I said, they are beneficial, so no worries.
