i have little white bugs in my tan what r they?

It's hard to tell without a picture or better description, but chances are, they are harmless and if you have dart frogs, they will eat them. They could be springtails--just a guess. We don't tend to worry about "bugs" much. Slugs and snails can do some damage and dart frogs won't eat these, but otherwise, different things will come and go over time and are rarely anything to be concerned about.

I'm sorry I didn't answer this earlier, but I haven't checked the forum for a few days and figured someone else would surely answer.

Have you had crickets in the tank previously? I had small white bugs in my leopard gecko's humid hide in the past which contained moist coco bedding. Turned out the crickets that didn't get eaten right away "got busy". The white bugs were baby crickets.
