Anyone know what these bugs are? Are they harmful?

Hi,

My beardie seems to have some small, clearish bugs running around him and his cage. I managed to snag one with some tape and put it under the microscope...

It is my understanding that mites are red, then black as they suck blood, so I am not sure what these bugs are. Does anyone know what they are and if they are harmful?

Hi there....looks kind of like termites. Do you have a log in the tank ?

 

[teh1]

Yeah I have a few that have been around for a very long time. They were originally store-bought...

I definitely see the resemblance:

How should I deal with them? Drowning?

Heads up,

I seem to have figured out what these bugs are. I caught one and didn't squish it this time, so I could get a better picture.

They seem to be almost definitely Booklice:

They are harmless, and their rapid reproduction due to me spraying my beardie (getting other things wet) makes perfect sense as well. That said, I still completely cleaned his cage and will be leaving it empty for a few days. I soaked his wood and other things in soapy water, then regular water, and now they are drying.

Yup, that's a booklouse. They're pests but not all that bad - they certainly won't hurt your dragon. I would advise not spraying him in his tank, because too much humidity can cause respiratory infections.
