I have a silverfish infestation in one of my beardies tank. I have no idea how it got there but I’m very concerned. Our hoyse has always had some silverfish running around on the floor and we didn’t think much of it but now they’re getting inside my beardie’s tank. Are silverfish dangerous to dragons? I don’t understand why they’re in my beardie’s tank. I usually clean the cages once a month and disinfect maybe twice a year. It’s not dirty at all or moist. How should I deal with this problem? Should I call pest control or will disinfecting his cage do the trick? Please help, I’m really worried:(

Hello,

I have never had a silverfish problem. As far as I know they are safe, but definitely get to be a
nuisance. If they get too bad then you can consider using a steamer on the tank to help kill &
or disinfect the tank really well.

Good luck.

I would get rid of them when you see them. They aren't harmful but can cause damage to things like books and clothing. Not really something you want in your house.

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
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
