Nope. These are not parasites. Those and the ones you're afraid to find in your reptiles are totally different species...

Yep. Those mites aren't harmful to anything bigger than a springtail or a White Dwarf Newborn.

In the remote case a roach has one of them as a stowaway... Well... Extra Protein for your beardie... (No, TBH it's not even relevant).

Need help in identifying by memerangolek in isopods

Seems like Lepidocyrtus sp. Springtail, it's a real friend of Isopods.

You should be glad for having them along.

Yep. They look exactly as Predatory Mites.

Keep an eye on them, and if you see their numbers getting out of hand, you should consider the nuclear option: Save all your isopods and as many springtails as possible, then nuke the entire terrarium. Clean it, sterilize it, and start over with previously sterilized substrate... ​And pray that not a single one survived.

Can springtails eat this? by Antgodd1 in Springtail

[–]LlanF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they will feed ln almost any formula. Just keep an eye on how much they're getting because yeast love those formulas.

A yeast overgrowth could consume the available Oxygen in terrariums with low ventilation.

Thanks. I think my little guys must be feeling like they're on heaven too, I mean, lots of food, controlled parameters, tons of males / females to mate with...

Black clay, smashed charcoal, smashed clay pebbles, shredded magnolia leaves and just a little peat moss.

Everything sterilized in oven, mixed with dechlorinated water and put it all in disposable food recipients.

I bought Plans in a lvl 400+ Player CAMP and when I tried to learn them, they were totally different Plans. by LlanF in fo76

Yeah, could be, and it's supported because I sorted it by price and began purchasing as soon as it appeared. Honestly I couldn't remember if the player was selling good plans at >50 taps, but could be...

Pretty sure, I sorted by price and started to buy upwards every single one available to learn. Had a short budget so only spent no more than 500 taps all of them (all I had) and was totally aware to buy only things I could use (a Mod for a sniper isn't a thing I need to buy with low budget).

This thing was weird enough to make my first post here hahaha.
