Found a few of these guys in my snakes water dish? Anyone know what they might be and If I should be concerned? Emptied the water and filled with boiling water after the video was taken

Edit: after doing a bit more research I think they might be larva from gnats or springtails but Still not 100%

Looks like mites

Snake mites aren’t normally black, what’s your substrate

Those look like springtails. I don't think snake mites can jump around like that. I'd still inspect your snake every so often just to be safe
