They aren't there for the animals at all they go where its warm and moist and will eat any mould, fungi and dirt in that area. They wont harm any of your animals, I have these in all my vivariums, you only notice them around the water bowls and they help keep the GAL rub clean, which is a mammoth task so I have to thank them for that, they even live in with my Tarantulas, I just leave them to it, they are cleaner bugs and save me a lot of cleaning, specially with the high humidity setups as mould would be a huge problem without them.
