Springtail explosion!! Too Many maybe

[Romy]

So i made a bioactive vivarium for my gecko. I added the springtales/isopods wayy in advance. The mold came and went so I added my gecko and all was well. Its been a few months now, and the springtail population in particular has exploded. I was really happy at first, I assumed i was doing something right. But not i'm getting a bit worried. They you can see hundreds crawling over every surface. I see them crawling on my gecko, which can't be enjoyable for him.

So tl;dr Is there such a thing as too many springtails?

I always figure things go up and down, so at a certain point there will be too many springtails to be sustained and they will die off. If what you're seeing looks like seething white stuff, it may be grain mites and not springtails, though that's doubtful if there's no grain in there.
