They live in moist environments eating decomposing material and if it dries out the gnats and larvae die. They dont live very long either

Except I had them when I had hatchlings and I had no plants.

I'm sure having plants don't help. However, I never see bugs in the plants I do have now.

Oh dear Tom. As much as I love the ocean, I wouldn't live in any state on them. I love Chicago, the whole world is right here. Plus I never worry about my house getting demolished by mother nature.

Here is a new video clip

Not to change the subject, but the bugs in your video are definitely not fleas. Also of note, fleas utilize warm-blooded host animals rather than cold-blooded ones like reptiles.
