So i have a quick question, after coming home yesterday i noticed inside my Leos enclsoure that there are a bunch of little white bugs all in there and even inside her water they are extremely little a but you can see them move does anyone know what those are? and should i be worried that they may harm the Leo?

Pictures would be a big help in identifying them.I use diatomacious earth for bugs. It's non-toxic and works well.

In my opinion those sound like either pinworms (but they might be smaller) or springtail-ish type?

I'm not familiar with all those different types of worms. If it's pinworms, I'm wondering if the breeder you purchased the leo from gave you a wormed tort and it needs to be dewormed now.
