The last lot of crickets I ordered came with a small black beetle. I wasn't too worried as I thought it was the dermestid beetle that I'd read about. However the pen is now infested with larvae and they're not furry like they're supposed to be. I hope you can see from photo. Does anyone know what they are and if they're dangerous for my beardie?

I'm not sure what those are. Probably just another kind of cleaner crew larva though. If they are getting to high in numbers, you may want to replace the substrate with fresh and throw the old substrate in an outdoor garbage bin.

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

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
