I just wanted to avoid being jumped on by several people for even asking the question. I know how things can get on here, sometimes. That's all. I understand that there are people who disagree with me. It's just that I did not want this thread to turn into an attack on me. I'm sorry if that's...

It's hard to say for certain, the soil gnats always seem to run their course. It might be because they get outcompete by isopods/springtails, but it might also be that by the time the CuC establishes, the soil gnats finished whatever it was they were eating. I've had some realllllly horrible...

Not trying to argue or be rude, but an animal not attacking you when you go near it doesn't mean it needs or wants your presence. And it definitely does not mean that it will do well with another reptile/amphibian in it's small enclosure. It's not a stigma, it's really just the reality of it...

Yes I currently have a grow light that's not so great but a sansi 70w 6500k light is on its way right now. I have a little mount system thing that I made with bamboo (picture attached) that allows me to lift the pot out and put it back in. Actually super handy and works perfect because the pots...

I am plagued with soil gnats every fall/spring in my chameleons enclosures so I breed mantids as pest control/ feeders, I hang egg cases in each of my enclosures once hatched they fatten up fairly quickly and are a excellent food source for my chams. I've only had a few reach 3/4 inches but they...

Hello, I’m Having issues with gnats in my bioactive terrarium. I’ve tried using beneficial nematodes and it seems like he number has reduced but they are still an issue. I’ve also adjusted the misting timer, cleaned the terrarium, and added gnat catchers outside of the terrarium. Any...

Thanks guys, I was on the fence about adding additional branches or jungle vines. I want to have a small piece of a forest in my living room, and random branches that appear out of nowhere looks very unnatural. @PabloTheCham I put in 30 isopods into the enclosure, but I didn't let the...

There's a nepenthes pitcher in my Parsons bio enclosure. It works pretty well on them, but the real gnat control is sundews. Trust me on this, sundews obliterate fungus gnats. Just keep a couple on a window or something in the same room and the gnats will be gone in no time. Butterworts and...

I was recommended using sundews next to the lights on the enclosure. It has been an absolute savior for the stupid gnats. 4 days after having the sundew and most of the gnats were gone and the sundew was covered in little black gnats.

I'm about to put my 10 month old to sleep and then head to bed myself, but I've been doing bioactive cham enclosures for a few years now. I can help out a bit with any questions. Fungus gnats pop up sometimes early on, there are ways to control them, but IME a good sundew is the best way. Put...

I'll have to look into the sun drew plant. I think I saw them on Amazon. I don't have bioactive either, just all live plants. That and the cricket and bug 💩 I guess causes them 😕 Currently I have bowls and apple cider Vinegar, dish soap and water near a light in each room of the house so the...

Thank you so much!!!

I was thinking about adding pitcher plants to the cages to control my gnats problem! Go to know they are safe. Nice set up, makes mine look weak

I heard adding spring tails could help control soil gnat problems because the springtails should out compete them, thoughts?

Sundews are the secret gnat control, butterworts did a decent job for me, and pitchers did pretty well, though they're good for the escaped flies and feeders inside of the enclosure. As for plant pests, I bought ladybugs and parasitic wasps(sounds nasty, but they're harmless and tinnyy). The...

Read my post in the other thread; neem is not going to control fungus gnats because they breed deep in the soil.

I would ditch the dirt bottom - it's going to be a pain to keep clean. Chams are tree-top dwellers. They don't like the ground and since it's a male you don't need dirt for egg laying. As long as he's not in direct sunlight that should be a great place for him. Direct sun will bake him into a...

I think I'll try to find myself one that I can incorporate into my enclosure! It would be nice to have something that will take care of some of my loose feeders and gnats for me. Thank you!

When I was reading on them I had the thought I find ladybugs to take care of them. I have to read more about these parasitic wasps. As always your bug knowledge comes in handy (y)
