Bingo, on the upper right of the doorAre there snails on the glass??
Youre not worried about accidently bring in other things on the log like mold spores or harmful insects? I tried using moss from outside and the first thing my tegu tried to do was eat it hahaI use a topsoil/peat moss mix. Its about 8inches in the deepest part although I would prefer deeper. I collected leaf litter and rotten logs from outdoors that contain all kinds of isopods, wood lice and other bugs that help clean up. I added roaches, supers and snails. Poops and left over food disappears quickly and they dig and forage a lot more.
Thats what bioactive soil is all about! mold spores won't exist in the high temps. neither do termites but we dont really have those where im at anyways.Youre not worried about accidently bring in other things on the log like mold spores or harmful insects?

So can i use Wild caught isopods in my tegus terrarium?I use a topsoil/peat moss mix. Its about 8inches in the deepest part although I would prefer deeper.

Would I be able to use wild isopods from outside without issues then?I use a topsoil/peat moss mix. Its about 8inches in the deepest part although I would prefer deeper.

I've done it with 0 issue so far, actually, I thought my Tegu ate all of them (he's only 3 months) lol.. and then one day recently I was moving some of his decor so I could clean the tank, when I noticed a little colony of isopods somehow sprouted from the depths!Would I be able to use wild isopods from outside without issues then?
