Tiny Bugs

[AndreaRosie]

I have noticed little bugs. Like super small bugs in my baby turtle tank. It's an indoor tank. Has coco and cypress in it. It is kept at good humidity(not a lot). What are these guys?

Likely collembolans or springtails...everyone has problems with them...the best thing to do is when you purchase bedding, either put it in the freezer or bake it to kill off the bugs. they are not harmful to you or your tort. Just a nuisance....

Thanks so much!! I will bake my new bedding and throw out the old. As long as they are not bad. Phew. Thanks a lot.

I live in Louisiana. It went down to 47 last night. The town almost went crazy. Hopefully it will go back in the 70s soon.
