What in the heck am I going to do? How am I going to get rid of them? Are they bad? Could they infect my other reptiles? How do I know if my Gecko has them like in her or anything?
I've never heard of this happening. Gizmo is in a separate Temporary holding tank until I can get this sorted out, I'm letting the tank dry out right now because the substrate was very wet.
The substrate has 3 layers. On the top is indian almond leaves to help prevent Gizmo from trying to eat her substrate. The middle layer is a half bag of FrogDaddy's bioactive/naturalistic Frog and Gecko substrate, along with a whole bag of hydro balls at the very bottom.
So really, what should I do? Are they bad? Should I worry? I'm really freaked out about this.
