Did you ever figure out what those were? I have some in my new little pygmy chams enclosure. I saw one walking on the grapevine...so, I'm wondering if you found out if they were harmless or not.
Thanks!!!

i know this is gross but do they hover around the feces. I had some of these, like little mites. They wasnt parasites they were just little scroungers

Kristen,
they may be sprintails or wood nematodes which become more prevalent in moist environments. I have been minimizing my misting locations (getting wood as little as possible) and removing the cover and just leaving the screen on for several hours a day to help dry. I have also begun taking out the vines/branches from time to time to scrub and then sun dry. But we all know I am OBSESSIVE!
BTW, they won't hurt the chams, but try to keep it to a minimum. If you notice a very wet area of soil/bark you can scoop it out and replace it with fresh/dry.
Does this help?
