.So i have some mites in two sling enclosures. I saw the mites on a dead prey/bogus in one of the enclosure so its not springtails. They are not ALOT but they are some.. Should i do a cleaning or not? I hear mixed answers about this
Yeah i guess its just paranoia i have and i see some people give strong reaction answers to mites like "Clean the whole enclosure with soup now so it wont hurt ur tarantula" etc..
Sorry. I've read this question so often. Mite phobia seems to be more far spread than Arachnophobia in some circles.
Mites on a bolus are scavenger mites. They do the same job as springtails. I fail to understand where that myth comes from that springtails are good and mites are bad. And btw, just because it's on a bolus doesn't mean it's mites. Springtails will also enjoy a juicy bolus.
Well, that's a first. What soup works best? Chicken? Minestrone? Nettle? *"Clean the whole enclosure with soup"
