So, I went to snag a cricket from my H. lividum's cage that she didn't want, and I noticed... a black beetle under her water dish. And around that, tiny white things... Mites.
So I immediately evacuated her into a temp house while I scrounge up some cash to get some fresh substrate, and toss the KK plus mite infested substrate outside.
Does moisture attract them, or something? 'Cause the only place I saw them was around the water dish.
Athena wasn't thrilled, and I know I sure as heck wasn't.
My friend took the beetle to see what kind it is, so I have no pics, but it just looked like... well, a black beetle. Where the hell did it come from?
Rage.
