I’ve just discovered loads of tiny flies in my leopard geckos tank and I don’t know what to do about it or where they’ve come from ? Is it a common issue or abnormal and what do I do to get rid of them?

Is it safe to keep my gecko in there with them?

I use the same mix, just make a hole with your finger or pour water on top and mix it up a little every now and then if you feel it's too dry NQA
