Cage Info: Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? XL breeze with three sides window plastic sealed. The bottom is raised 3" with PVC pipe so I can fit my hand under to clean. I also caulked the bottom rim of the cage because bugs were getting in there...

What I’ve done a few times to help control soil gnats is hatch out mantis ooths in my enclosures. I’ve gotten the ooths from eBay. This is the perfect time of year to do it. The sellers which I’ve bought from no longer have any, but this should help...

😂😂😂😂 omg it’s been the WORST! I bought an organic soil that was completely infested with them & the gnat traps have definitely been helping, but they just keep coming! I’m really tempted to pull at least my monstera out to repot prior to her waking up & top off with sand as I don’t want to mess...

I’ve been wondering about trying that!

I think most of us struggle with the dratted gnats. There are lots of ways to help reduce and eliminate them that are safe for your chameleon. Along with those things already mentioned, letting your plant’s soil dry out a bit helps. Letting your enclosure dry out in between misting, getting some...

no idea how i have them as i have been careful to wash and use new soil for every plant but iv checked the soil in all my pots now and everyone has eggs what would be the best way to combat/kill them off im seriously contemplating taking cuttings and starting over but them my guy would be with...

...the stray isopod that gets lost and you’ll find around the house. I don’t mind that though. I think they’re cute. Lastly is if you do get soil gnats, it is a challenge to get rid of them. I hatched out mantis ooths in the enclosures, which worked great in the past. This last time all of the...

This one almost snuck past me. Drosera capensis sundews are nice for helping control soil gnats. https://carnivorousplantnursery.com/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&_kx=MWB-gMWlv5yoFaMM7gJUyHmkn0ZTTEawVzAmfx1nBgA%3D.X3in2u

I knew I forgot something! I wanted to talk about your soil gnats. It’s a common problem for many of us. I have 5 bioactive chameleon enclosures plus lots of extra plants so have been engaged in a never ending battle with the darned things. I usually run two Katchy’s...

The only medical use that I’m aware of for barium is for radiographic studies…like to view the digestive tract in X rays. Maybe something got lost in explanation. 🤷‍♀️ Dragon Strand is a great enclosure with good ventilation. Yeah…grapevine tends to mold with moisture and high humidity. The...

Hey Hey Beman! Taking Yoshi to the vet today, but I noticed she’s been a a darker green these past few days, but when I first got her she was light green. Is this completely normal?

Drosera capensis solved my infestation of soil gnats within days in my Cham room(half dozen bioactive enclosures and free ranges). Had to wear a mask or you’d breath them in… no other method worked. All the flies went to the plants(they grew a lot that week haha). All that said, some species...

Gnats? Fungus gnats can come up when your plant soil is too damp usually from misting.

How would I be able to get rid of them? I’m guessing if they are gnats they probably are from my pothos cause that plant has moderately moist soil.

Mosquito bits totally work for fungus gnats. I just sprinkle some right on top of the plant soil and they work when you water them. I haven't really had to re-apply after a year or more of doing it so far and we have probably upwards of 50 house plants including the ones in Mr Puff's habitat.

When I repotted my monstera with a chunkier soil it made it a lot better, I feel your pain

that’s a very cool story thank you for sharing! I unfortunately probably won’t go through with this after hearing your story😅 but maybe one day they will be easily assessable feeders!

...for me in my chameleon enclosures is hatching mantis ooths. I occasionally have bouts with white fly, which are about the size of soil gnats but… White! They’re a pain in the butt, but the mantids hatch, munch on the gnats or white flies for a few days before becoming a snack for the...

It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I need help with a soil gnat problem! I just had to throw out a couple of my pothos and Calathea Zebrina plants that I had near the top and middle of my enclosure because I found eggs in them. I took them outside and poured hydrogen peroxide on the...

When my house plant collection get these gnats, I allow my soil to really really dry out, about to where you see leaves starting to droop...then water with 50/50 peroxide and water....another method used (that I wouldn't recommend, while in the enclosure) is isopropyl alcohol. Spray the surface...
