Hello!
So, I just noticed my B. Vagans has mites in her enclosure...yeah.
It´s my fault because when I was filling her water dish, I overfilled it by accident.. a lot. I was hoping it will just dry and will be okay, but I was wrong.
There isn´t many of them, but it makes me really anxious. I have no new substrate at the moment, and would take few days to get my hands on new one.
So, I´m thinking: Can I just scoop all of the old substrate out and bake it on really high tempreature, about 250C? Would it kill all the mites and make the substrate sterile?
It tears my heart having to destroy all of her webbing, but I don´t want my baby to have mites in her home.
