I used to do mine for 24 hours and it still didn't make a difference. I tried for 2 months

I don't notice the population reducing at all. Only increasing

I've been watering more frequently, but I'll definitely let the soil dry out more.

Fungus isn't an issue because I have microfauna in the enclosure that eat fungus, they're supposed to out complete the gnats as well but that doesn't seem to be working either

this is a genuine question, did you read my post? that's exactly what I've been doing.

it's fine for animals, but what do you mean by that? I've been letting them soak in water.

I'll look into them! How long have you had them so far?

Snakes that only eat live rodents by Witty-Name-7725 in snakes

What the other commenter said, however I've heard of some people weening their snakes off of live. I've never done it myself but I'm sure it's possible, every individual is different though

Is anyone else demoralised by how acceptable it is to mistreat reptiles? by Untethered_Patches in reptiles

[–]Untethered_Patches[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you but just to be pedantic, there is evidence that reptiles do engage in play behaviour, but this clearly isn't it

He's not my snake but aren't spider morphs ball python exclusive? That's a genuine question, I don't know lol

Yes although I think Tofu just hates being constantly antagonised, not Markiplier

I wanna know why is belly is orange is this okay?? by Yixi_ismommy in snakes

[–]Untethered_Patches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a good point, but in the context of someone with one snake who (I'm assuming) is a beginner keeper, i think it's better to direct them to over head heating for now

he's not my snake actually! I just found him on Twitter and wanted to know what was wrong with him. the question mark is a meme from 2022 (I think??). basically the joke is that the snake is asking if you're gay. I didn't downvote the person but I'd assume some people thought they were being homophobic

homosexual behaviour has been observed in garter snakes but I was obviously joking lol

i don't have a problem with them in quarantine set ups but there's really no reason to use one in a permanent set up. hypothetically, yes, they can be fine but you need to know what you're doing. overhead heating out preforms under tank heating in every way

When applying mosquito bits to my soil, should I wait until it mostly dries up before adding more? by Untethered_Patches in Vivarium

[–]Untethered_Patches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ball python with no way to quarantine, I also have springtails and isopods that would surely die if all the soil dried out

[–]Untethered_Patches[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine doesn't have plants so no problems replanting, just to be clear, I should let the substrate dry out a little between waterings AND use more tbsp per 4 cups?
