Tiny white worms in T's water dish

[Paul Welsh]

Hello everyone.Just checked on my G Pulchripes 2.5" sling.I found little white wormlike things in her water dish.They don't appear to be moving,but I've discarded the water and dish,and added a new dish with fresh water.Is this anything to worry about?Or could it be springtails?My T is absolutely perfect.Thank you in advance.

It'll be springtails and they are a beneficial occupant of a tarantula tank. They might move around and jump a bit if you stick your finger in the water.

Thank you for your reply Craig.Unfortunately,I panicked and flushed them down the toilet !! At least my mind's at rest now I know it's nothing to worry about.Cheers.
