Last night I noticed one of my Tityus stigmurus sub-adult was about to molt. So I gave the colony a good misting and moved the enclosure to a warmer shelf. This morning when I checked on it, it had molted but was swarmed with springtails and was barely alive. There was so many on the poor thing I could hardly even see the scorp. It was so weak there was no way I could save it so all I could do is put down so it didn' suffer anymore.
I keep my enclosures clean so I don' know if the springtails were starving or what. It's the first time this has happened, but I don't want it to happen again. Do any of you know a way to kill off some springtails without effecting the isopods and scorps in the enclosure?
This sucks, I raised her from 2nd instar and this was her last molt to adult.
