I think gnats are stressing out my 6 month old female veieled so I bought a Katchy gnat catcher from Amazon and I turn it on after the lights go out. So far I have caught 12 gnats in two days. They either came from my live plants or they are just coming in from outdoors and are attracted to the lights in the enclosure. Wherever they came from, my Cham’s eyes are darting every which way and she’s showing signs of stress like walking on the screen and displaying stripes and spots. Her enclosure is in a low traffic area of the house so she has peace and quiet. I thought she might be ready to lay eggs so I got a lay bin/pot that’s 12” deep with play sand. Nope. I thought it was lack of foliage so I got her more plant cover...nope. I don’t handle her any more than once a week for cleanings. I can tell the few gnats that get in the screen are driving her nuts and maybe it’s because she isn’t fast enough to get them. Does anyone else have this issue? I know people have reported gnats but I didn’t see anyone comment on resulting stress.
