I was cleaning out my BPs tank today, and saw something that I haven't encountered before. There were a few of these little white bugs, maybe 1/4 of an inch long. Sort of a skinny teardrop shaped body (with the point being the tail) and six legs. No idea what these things are or if I need to do anything special to get rid of them.

What I've done so far is I took everything out of the tank, sprayed the tank down with a reptile-safe cleaning spray, and washed it out, then sprayed down all the stuff in the tank and soaked it in hot water. Put in brand new bedding and everything.

Any ideas what these bugs are? Want to make sure they don't come back again, and what I can do to prevent it!

Thanks in advance.
