closed chamber

Hey there, I've read around on this topic and am on the verge of incorporating Roly Polys as my cleanup crew. My current concern is that my Western Hermann's is a herbivore, and if my population of Roly Poly becomes too high, I won't have a place to put them. I'm looking to see what other...

Here's a little splurge of an update; posting here as to be open to insights, criticisms, etc. Okay where to begin, Since day 1 my substrate has had some gnats, I'd kept calm as they're just gnats - but this weekend I decided IPM has to be addressed as I've approached my closed chamber with a...
