I prefer Butterworts. Less sticky but catch every. single. gnat. Right in enclosure up high under lights; even Mellers does not destroy and they bloom continuously. (Of course a veiled could eat it). I'll take a pic tonight of some covered in bugs and send. If you are misting with distilled...

Oh i didnt think about the weight of the enclosure. I am going to have to wait to do bioactive then because my enclosures are in a room that is not completed so I'll need to finish that first, then do the bioactive.....sad face. Thank you so much!

The times I've over watered, soil gnats appear. I scale back mistings and they disappear :)

A fun way to help with soil gnats in your enclosure is to hatch out a mantis ooth. The baby mantids will eat the gnats and your chameleon will have fun hunting down the mantids. Or you could hatch out the ooth in a container and daily release some mantids in the enclosure so that they (mantids)...

yes, i didn’t think you’d be so right but i almost feel guilty for feeding these cuties to my boy🥲, but i moved them into a 20 gallon tub so i hope that’ll help with the cannibalism. You think they’ll be okay for a couple days without food right? I have fruit flies otw, but i tried putting...

Thank you, there seems to be a lot of elements when caring for a chameleon, I think I might get a beardie first so I can get some experience before getting a chameleon. I don't wanna do something wrong and cause the chameleon any pain or suffering cause I wasn't equipped enough.

Springtails would be my guess too, but I know little about bugs. Have you checked your plants, including the undersides of leaves for pests? Are you seeing any soil gnats?

I’m just not sure where to get sundews. I’ve never seen them in the stores. I live in Maine and I know they grow here but I’m not able to walk on uneven ground very well to go find them.

Note.... Hibiscus are great... I have two of them in Beman's cage. but you have to have a high powered light like a jungle dawn LED bar or sansi for them to bloom. Gnats are in the soil... In literally any plant you buy and any bag of potting soil. Organic or not they have them. Moisture build...

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?
