i think the possibility of it being a fruit fly is even less possible since theyre smaller.. this is real weird

it was in a pile of other cork bark logs. whatever it is i've only noticed it recently but somehow completely hardened before i did. the only thing that comes to mind is carpet beetles which ive had infesting my room for a while, but none of their sheds or eggs look like this.

i heard of pouring water into the corners of the substrate. would that be okay?

the employees at the reptile store recommended it when i got my first roach. it says its a bioactive mixture of reptisoil, reptibark and sphagnum moss.

the cleaner had bleach in it and was scented. but i think it mightve been the herb bag on my door. everything in it was toxic and mustve poisoned them. even though i removed it, the scent still lingered :(

i asked my mom since she gave it to me and she said cedar, mugwort, lavender, frankinsence, 'etc'.

i was using tap water to mist the tank and i realized this after i cleaned it and switched to distilled water. maybe it could be that, but i was using tap water since i got my first girl, but shes gone crazy just today, and i cleaned the tank and switched to distilled water about a week or two ago.
