Hello everyone. I've noticed these little bugs in the dirt, and under the water dish. I've read different reviews on these bugs, but I figured it's best to take pictures and get opinions on what is in my Red-Eyed Leaf Frog's tank.
Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Here's some pictures I was able to take to the best of my abilities.
I'm sure you can see where the bugs are.
Thanks for your help.![]()

It's hard to tell what it is, but it looks like it could be some kind of springtail. If it is, then it's just a bonus since these little guys feed on stuff that you don't want in a enclosure (poop, mold etc.). Take a look at some poop, and if it's covered in these bugs, I would just let them be, since they're probably just keeping your terrarium cleaner.

blow on them. if they jump, they are springtails. and most people pay money for these so good deal if you got them for freeother than that they might be dwarf white isopods. but they dont look like it from the picture. kind of hard to tell since they are so small.
if its neither.....i wouldnt keep my red eyes in a tank full of bugs not knowing what they are. try blowing on them and checking old poop.

Thank you for your helpful information. I do believe they are springtails, and when I blow on them they seem to jump or looks like they jump.
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
