little bugs in pothos plants soil

[Erica1884]

Hello, So I just upgraded my veiled to a new cage, complete with new plants. I was cleaning out his old plants and cage and in the soil of the pothos plants under the rocks, are a bunch of little bugs. They are very where. They are really small, white/light brownish and crawling all around. They don't seem to fly... Is this normal?

Probably, bugs do tend to live in dirt. Pictures would help us identify them

They were so small wouldn't show up on my phone. Had my sister check them out, She is great with plants assured me that they were normal. She gets them in her plants too. She doesn't have a chameleon, but has a million plants in her house... Typically where I get my plants from thank you

As long as they aren't the ones that damage your plants they are quite beneficial really help keep things clean. Those of us who have a substrate actually buy them to put in our soil. Things like springtails, and pill bugs.
