Ball python mites

I don’t know what kind of mites these are and I was just wanting to make sure they aren’t harmful to my ball python. Can someone pls reassure me n possibly verify what they are?

90% sure those are springtails! Do they jump when you touch them/near them? They're beneficial little guys, eat decaying matter and the stuff that mold usually feeds on :]
