Agreed! I wish I would have done more research, had everything setup, and not purchased gnat infested soil 🤣, but it is what it is! 🤷🏻‍♀️ We live and we learn!

Those soil gnats get her going everytime i hand water the plants. She goes straight down to the planter haha

He had a negative parasite test, but the vet gave him barium and panacur (sorry for the misspelling) since he wasn’t eating much. Ugh! I hate when vets treat blindly when they have no results. I can understand the panacur, but what was the barium for? Did they take x rays or something? The...

The barium was to lubricate his stomach, I assumed that’s what would be best, so they gave him some. His poops have been normal since, and his rates are even batter, so I am glad about that. I am not sure of the type of mold, but it was most likely because we used grapevine and the hygrometer...

I just have a few fungal gnats am I allowed to put cinnamon in the soil. And I am going to try to get a sundew this weekend

they eat any parasite in the soil so they don't eat gnats but eat the eggs so if you get rid of the gnats than put isopodes in no more ghats

Ok amazing to know!! I definitely make a list of the materials to make my own. I don’t think I can make the soil/get the supply’s right away. But hopefully I’ll be able to make some soil soon! As for the gnats, I’ve put a vinegar trap in the cage, so hopefully that will take care of a good...

You said…”So for the past 3ish days weve been using soapy water on the plant pot soil, and a little bit of hydrogen peroxide mainly in the bottom saucer to be absorbed and kill off some of the gnat larvae.“…your chameleon could drink this and would likely die from it if enough of it was...

We use mosquito bits or dunks to keep them out of our house plants. It's supposed to be safe for wildlife and pets. It contains some kind of bacteria that kills the larvae. It also kills fungus gnats (white flies). You can sprinkle them onto the soil and it works when you water or mix it in with...

...but due to them needing a very wet nutrient poor soil mix, it wouldn’t do well to be planted directly in your enclosure. What you can put in your enclosure is a mantis ooth. When the baby mantids hatch out, they will eat as many soil gnats as they can (before getting eaten by your chameleon).

Fungus gnats are the worst thing to ever exist. Usually they occur due to an issue with the soil being too wet and having a hard time draining. That’s what happened to me. You might need to repot your plants with new soil that you add something like orchid bark to, to increase drainage. I can...

I've used 2 solutions with pretty good results. First, I buy ABG mix (Atlanta Botanical Gardens), and mix that with my potting soil in my plants. It helps to drain the soil, so not as many gnats grow. Secondly, I bought a Katchy on Amazon, and set it up in my chameleon room. It does an...

...lights and misters, planted in sphagnum on a thick branch. They loved eating up all the extra millipedes, gnats, and other critters from my bioactive substrate as well. I liked having sundews sitting outside of the cage to eliminate any soil gnats that popped up. They do an amazing job at...

TY! I feel like it was definitely a stressor for mine as there was a whole swarm inside her enclosure 😭 I pulled some plants out of there and spritz the roots with hydrogen peroxide to prevent further rotting , rinsed, repotted & just left them outside for now in the meantime until I get the...

A bowl or cup with sugar water and vinegar will draw and drown the gnats… Cinnamon on the top of the soil will kill the fungus feeding the gnats…

Hey everyone! I don't know about you all, but for the longest time I had the WORST luck with my plants and soil. I originally started using Miracle gro's organic in ground soil, but quickly noticed that the soil in my enclosure's plants was becoming foul, stunk like a swamp, and almost...

Repotting the plant as soon as you bring it home helps with the gnats. The soil it comes in from the store is definitely filled with eggs. Also, a good plant grow light is needed to ensure longevity for a lot of plants. However, I do not have a grow light (yet) but my 2 pothos don't seem to mind...

Ok, so after the gnats are gone, can the isopods stay in there or change the soil to get them out? Sorry for all the questions. I researched a lot about keeping a chameleon, but not so much about botany lol

Can't offer any advice on the mites However I can share what has worked for me.... I've got a out a dozen or so plants in the enclosure and I've definitely had my battles with pests I normally do a mantis ooth (seasonal items so when I can get my hands on them) when the gnats get out of...

What would u suggest for better drainage? My plants have rocks at the bottom of their pots and soil on top.
