Hi everyone!
We've had our corn Boycie for 7wks now and just recently, we've had a few very very tiny flies flying about in his viv. Im not sure if its ok or not, we think theyre gettin in via the gap between the sliding doors! Are they harmful for snakes? As in, would they lay any eggs or anything? I can't seem to find any info about it!!
Theyre not like fruit flies/blue bottles either, theyre extremely small and easy to kill/catch. Just wanna know if they pose a threat or if theres any deterrant I can use etcetc!
Thanks in advance

| I had this problem a few years back. it was discovered that he had partially rugurged a mouse and it had flies hatching in it. the entire viv was filled with them overnight. the whole thing was emptied, sterilised, and put back together clean. i would do the same with your viv, flies arent good for anything but spider food. |

That sounds plausable, but its not infested! & I check for out-of-the-ordinary stuff all the time! Theres no regurg & at any one time there's only been 2 flies!
2 flies this evening, 1 the nite b4 & 2 the nite before that. Will have another check though.
Thanks :) |

id still give the whole thing a clean out.. it might be over kill but it would be worth it in the long run as it could prevent them from getting worse  |

| Also try putting a paper binder on the inside edge of one of the sliding doors. This will close any gap between the glass and stop the flies getting in, if that is where they are getting in. Also prevents snake from rubbing his nose up and down the glass crack and getting a sore nose. xxx |

"[ img] web address goes in here [/img]"
this is the way your images need to be added in, take the space out the first img brackets, i put it in here as its the only way it would show what the code was.
As for your fly problem, I have no idea. |

| It also does not scroll on my screen, so if you wish for me to remove any more, you must let me know. Private mail might be better - thanks. |

Hi April, can you reduce you sig size so that it fits on one page please.
As for the viv, I would empty it and disinfect everything. |
