Just cleaned out sevvi's water bowl and there were some small (0.5-1mm)white things swimming around. They do not look like snake mites (white and long)and I haven't put anything in the viv that hasn't been heat treated. Are they a different type of mite? What do I need to do? They look like the ones you find in invert tanks all the time.

Too small. Not seen anything since I cleaned the tank out. Nothing on him. Think it's prob wood mites? Keep my substrate in the freezer though.

If they are really small and white they could be springtails
