Help! White bugs

[mostchou]

Recently I have found that there are some really really really tiny white bugs climbing on my tort's shell and face!! Anybody knows what are those and what should I do??

They are probably harmless springtails. We all get them. It's because of the moist substrate.

Either that or those teeny tiny white little substrate bugs. They are harmless. I got those at one point after planting few weeds from my garden in the babies tank. They only lasted for few days and dissapeared. Always go back to check the basics: what's your temp/humidity? Is your tort eating/drinking/peeing/pooping/acting normal? Anything else out of ordinary?
