Wood mites??

Lately I’ve been finding little white-ish bugs in my room, I first found them on a log in my roach bin and now on the old shelf I had stored away in my wardrobe. Not sure if they’re in any of my skink enclosures yet but they’re most likely going to be in there. Idk if they’re springtails or not, they seem a bit bigger.
On other posts here I read they’re completely harmless and unlikely to cause infestation but an article I read earlier says otherwise and can definitely infest your home so idk if I should be relieved or worried.

They are more than likely springtails and are completely harmless to you or your pet. They prefer damp areas and feed on detritus like isopods. Frequently used as clean up crews.
