tap water? fluoride?

just dawned on me that all water my box turtle has interacted with since I got her (water bowl, soaking dish, and misting) has all been tap water. I live in the usa and with the additives i’m glad it hasn’t been harmful yet.

is it still okay to be using it for her misting and water or should I be using something else? is this something others have thought of?

tiny bug invaders. please help!

tl;dr what are these I found in my isopod enclosure. are they safe and is there a way to get rid of them?

another question about invading pests with difficult to see pictures because these are MINISCULE bugs.

i’m also confused since everything in the enclosure is bought from a reputable source for reptiles or isopods. (leaf litter, sphagnum moss, cork bark, rotting wood, jungle soil, and cuttlebone pieces - lmk if I can improve there too) so i’m confused at how they even could get in?

they are almost clear/cream colored. VERY slow moving, it took me a while to figure out they were even alive. found them on a few of the leaves but not all. took those few out.

are these harmful to my isopods and is there a way to get rid of them?
