Got these tiny white bugs climbing in his food dish an under the dish, tiny almost like a ant but isn’t. Iv checked him out an vet has an nothing on his body at all they don’t seem to have any interest in him besides his greens an occasional dead bug body I see them in like a dead cricket under his bowl or near his poop. No clue what they are an before I decide to dump an sanitize his entire enclosure figured I’d see what they are an if they are beneficial.

Look like springtails, part of the cleaner crew in a biotank. Did you add any c.c to your tank ? How long has it been set up ?

No c.c been added yet, an idk if they springtails since they crawl like ants not jump that why I’m so confused. Don’t wanna add c.c till I know for sure an it’s been up a few months now I just been cleaning his food dish out an poop as he goes

They probably came in on a plant or some leaf litter. What is your substrate + what plants do you have ? Any pics now that my curiosity is up ?

No plants as of yet, an it’s organic top soil/sand mixture. His basking log and a hammock. Still figuring out which plants I’d wanna put in the if he got hungry was safe. Ordering c.c Thur if these tiny creatures are safe

Something came in with the soil then. As for safe plants, they will probably be eaten and/or dug up + trashed, much to the delight of the dragon and much to your dismay.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
