Hi,

I really need help. Just now I took a look in my ball python's enclosure and noticed that there are ants. I have no idea how they got in there and I'm really worried! Before today I haven't seen any of them and today there were at least 30 of them.
I will definitely clean out all substrate but I don't have enough for a full clean up so I have to go buy some in a shop which is far away.
What should I do to get rid of them? Can they hurt my snake (he seems to be bothered by them)? How can this even happen?
I haven't seen ants anywhere else in the room he is in!
Thanks beforehand!
