Not yet! I was going to tomorrow and I bought new plants to put in there. Are those pinworms?
If they are should I take him out tonight?
No, they look like springtails to me. They are attracted to water and are in the dirt that the plants are in. They are used in bio active set ups for CUC. They are harmless.
I took a video but I didn’t know how to attach it on this forum. They do seem to be crawling with feet not squirming, and they move very fast.
Hmmm I dunno this is why I strip the soil off my potted plants lol. But I also do that where I live because you can gets slugs in them. Not something I want crawling around the cage. But most of the stuff that comes out of potted plants is harmless. More annoying then anything.
Thank you, hoping that’s all they are! My enclosure is in the bedroom so I just wanted to make sure it was safe to leave for the night and take care of in the morning. That plant was collecting a lot of water this week because I washed it in the shower and it hasn’t dried out yet.
Thank you! How can I get rid of them or do I leave them alone?
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy what do I win for knowing the answer lol
