so will my springtails crawl up my vivarium glass? i have an open hole at the top lid and was wondering will they crawl out of it or will they just stay in the substrate?

Springtails can and will go anywhere in the viv that they wish to go. Most springtails require high humidity to survive. Therefore, there is little draw for them to leave their humid vivarium. If you have been in the hobby any length of time, it becomes obvious that springtails can manage to get into other tanks and cultures, so obviously some can and do get out and move into the viv next to them. That, however, is a short trip through a dry environment.
Escapees would never survive your homes environment for any length of time. I doubt they could survive an hour or two.
