I have a Dubai Roach Colony in my house and everytime I open up the enclosure I can see small bugs flying out of it. What is this? If it baby dubia roaches flying or what? & if not, what is causing these bugs to come?

They are most likely fungus gnats. They are common in dubia colonies. They are a pain to control. You can try missing a drop or two of Dawn dish liquid with a small glass of apple cider vinegar. Place the glass near the colony.

I rinse out the glass when a lot of dead flies are in the bottom of it, or when it evaporates. Just depends on how busy I am.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
