There’s a bunch of tiny little flies, TINY seriously so small, all over the inside of my 50gal. But not my 5.5 gal… my 5gal has some spring tales but no little flying gnats. I haven’t added spring tales into my large enclosure yet. Would it help? How do I get rid of these things? 😭 NO there is no rotting fruit or anything.
My babes are not burrowing. Everything is “millipede perfect” great temps for both heat and humidity, soil really well wet/moist. It has layers. Climbing things, leaf litter, substrate as deep and even for mine a little deeper than they are long, good wood rot mixed in all over, moss on one side of tank. But they choose to only sleep on the top layer :/ I’m worried they’re stressed! I have two small guys in a 5.5 gal (babies) and they burrow just fine and have made tunnels and come up and down daily. I don’t want my adults to die over stress. It’s the same substrate they had when they were smaller and they did just fine so I’m confused.
I moved my bigger babies from a 5.5 gal to a 40gal almost a week ago. Same setup, very deep substrate, good humidity and temp, good rot. All of that. But they’re not burrowing. In the 5.5 they all burrowed or at the least made tunnels. But not anymore? They curl up and sleep in the corner now…? I’m wondering why.
I have two gold deserts and two choco deserts in the 40 gal.
