I have noticed that the enclosure housing my Pampho sp Ecuador II has become infested with mites. Totally my fault as he loves his moisture, I have caught him "swimming" in water dish numrous times, and apparantly got overzalous in my moisture applications.
Here is my question: I constructed a custom backdrop for the enclosure and it has live and dried moss, along with other silk plants and wood, attached to it. Do I need to rip out the backdrop to ensure the mites are gone after changing the soil or is there a way to avoid this? My T's well being is main priority, so if the backdrop has to go, I'll cry a bit on the inside then take it out.
