I have house ants (the small black ones) and they’re crawling around my baby sulcatas enclosure. Should I be worried? How do I make them go away?

Go to Home Depot or Lowes or somewhere similar and get Terro Ant Bait. Its relatively non-toxic. Let the ants swarm it and take the bait back to the queen and colony. It will wipe them all out.
When you say "around" the enclosure, do you mean inside it or outside of it? Are they able to get to the tortoise?

They don’t seem to show interest in the tortoise but yes, they constantly crawl in and out of the enclosure
Tom is right on the money. I used Terro Ant Baits when I had an infestation of ants in one of my heated night houses last month. They appreciated the warmth, so I put a couple of baits in the house, blocked tort access to it for a week, and have not had ants in the house since.
Man you all are lucky I have millions of those ants at my house. Not Inside but in my outdoor plants/ living in my mesquite trees and under hugos watering hole. Ive tried all the baits and home remedies. Now the ants won't touch the baits so i gotta live with them lol but they dont bother anything I guess lol
