bugs

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qshm05ydwimhmch/AABA-tv9mhFCcWSFdtwsv2WOa?dl=0 The link includes videos, my apologies but this is the best quality I could muster. There aren't many of these bugs and they only are in the areas that are constantly moist and have plant life. I have not seen any on my...

Recently moved in to a new house, made sure it had a whole room I could dedicate to my guy, but I’ve had a juvenile redfoot since mid December and have been around enough forums and talked to enough people to know I have his enclosure at the proper temp and humidity, I know I have the right...

So recently I've noticed some tiny bugs crawling around in my red footed tortoise cage. I've checked my Tortoise's entire body thoroughly a few times and have never seen any on him except for an occasional one or two crawling on his shell. Other than that they usually are around his water dish...

Hello, I'm currently trying to set up my adult Russian's new 8x3ft wooden vivarium but would really appreciate some advice on a few things please before I move him in there: - There seems to be little black bugs all in the orchid bark, like really tiny flies. Does anyone know how I can get rid...

Hi everyone, me again! So, sad to say my substrate has become swarmed with gnats, RIP. My substrate is a mix of mostly coco coir with a little cyrprus mulch on top. I keep it pretty moist so that the top layer is somewhat dry to the touch but once it gets ruffled there is a layer of moist coco...

I got my Hermann's tortoise around a month and a half ago, and today I noticed tiny white bugs in his enclosure. They weren't flying, and are of a grayish-white color. They are barley noticeable due to their size, and I changed his substrate recently (a few weeks ago). I know that some bugs are...

My Russian tort Hank is in cypress mulch. I spot clean her enclosure (a wooden Zoo Med Tortoise House) daily after work. I will occasionally see very small whiteish almost light beige colored little bugs on remaining lettuce scraps or poop. I don’t see them in large quantities, usually a few...

There’s been an accumulation of insects in my RF’s enclosure lately, not sure what they are but some people tell me to keep them because they’re beneficial... Is this true? (I had some videos of them but the files are too big, ugh)

Hi, Today we noticed a very tiny (~1-2mm) white bug running on our tortoise's shell and then realised there's more of them in the soil. Here is a video of one of them: https://bit.ly/2u4BrI0 We do not have a professional camera, but hopefully someone can tell what these bugs are, whether they...

Hi Everyone! Two days ago while changing my tortoises habitat I noticed these brown flying beetles bugs in their enclosure. Majority were dead but some were still alive. I've never seen these type of beetles in any of my tortoises enclosures before or near my home before. I didn't think much...

Apologies in advance if this is a question that has been done to death! I live in the UK and my garden is quite lush. I'm setting up an outdoor enclosure for my year old Russian so he can catch the sun in the warmer months and get some grazing on the go. My question is, should I be worried...

Hey everyone. It’s been a while since I posted but I’m hoping someone can help. Yesterday while changing the water in the viv, I noticed some tiny white bugs underneath the water dish. After closer inspection I saw more of these bugs in the substrate and now I’m worried sick. Are these mites...
