Thanks. Wish you could see it better in the enclosure.

So I kept thinking I was finding pot worms in my plants and substrates. Turns out it was the fungus gnat larvae lmao well now I know.

But it works to protect the wall and keep in some humidity and heat.

Yea they look great! I ended up making one out of foam insulation board coated with drylok then painted and attached it to the back of enclosure using black silicone. I only did the back and it worked really good. Although you can only see the top portion of it now after the branches and plants...

Yeah so worth it to have good equipment! I made the mistake of listening to a pet store buying a chameleon kit at first and having to rebuy absolutely everything. I then had the right setup and just recently made a new one that’s bioactive. Everything on timers that work great is just a feeling...

Oh also lemme link a YouTube video that I got inspiration from. He actually uses the stand and cuts it down to make it bioactive but he built from scratch using pvc board but you can probably uses the stand and cover it with pvc board (since you’ll need everything for the substrate layer...

I made one using the XL but built a base for it to sit on with no bottom where the substrate went and a false bottom below that for a drainage pipe and valve. (and storage) It actually has more room than the XL since the substrate doesn’t come right up to the reptibreeze. Also wasn’t too hard...

I have 2 different species right now (and a lot of them!) and waiting on deans to grow to size as I feed them off

I spoke to him on instagram. I didn’t realize this was dean haha I was speaking to him regularly prior to this actually 😂

Any ways to get rid of the pot worms?

I have these pot worms in my separate isopod/springtail enclosure ive read here they’re harmless but I hate them

“Why are you looking at me?!”

Yeah there’s just wayyyy too many of them. I had 100s in just a planted pot. Dead ones would pour out the bottom idk I don’t like them lol

Haha omg

Wow haha that’s awesome. I had millipedes and slugs in my money tree pot in the old enclosure. I planted the tree in the bioactive one but washed off all the roots. Idk I didn’t like the idea of millipedes in there haha if they come back though I won’t try to get rid of them I know they’re helpful.

That is wild haha I just bought some mosquito bits and if things get bad I’ll get the drosera capensis but again I only have a couple flying around since it’s so new. The old enclosure had a lot more from the potted plants.

I read putting them in a water bottle and spraying the soil is the best way to use it. But again not sure how it effects the CUC

Bc I don’t have too many since my soil has only been in there for about 2.5 weeks maybe less.

So the mosquito bits are safe to use and won’t harm the isopods or springtails?

Ugh yeah that’s horrible. I mean it’s not at the point of them flying into my mouth haha. Maybe I’ll put some traps on outside on enclosure and look into some plants that kill/eat them for outside etc. and I 100% don’t want to kill my springtails. I read there’s some other microorganisms that...
