I woke up this morning and took a little peek to see how my T was doing. That is when I saw hundreds of small black bugs jumping around. They wee everywhere some even on the spider. I panicked and removed my T from his cage. I threw out the old substrate and washed the enclosure thoroughly and soaked it with Jik to kill germs. Once it dried out and was cleaned I put in new fresh substrate and put my T back. He seems fine now however he is scratching a lot. I think there might still be some of those bugs on him although I can't see any. Could someone please tell me what are those bugs and how to avoid it from happening again? If it helps I did feed my T super worms a few months ago but he only ever ate 2 the rest burrowed inside and I waited for them to submerge as beetles to remove them. Eventually I got them all out but maybe they could've caused these bugs to appear? Is it possible that it could be eggs that the worms laid that hatched or what? They looked like fleas in a way and they jumped a lot but I am not sure if a spider can get fleas.
