Pests...yuck!

[Oodalolie]

I have a 5 month old tegu, he's wonderful
But the enclosure is getting worrisome, because there seems to be gnats inside of it. I pick up his feces immediately after a bowel movement, and I take his food out as soon as he's done eating. The substrate hasn't been in there very long, but I guess it's time for a change sense this seems to be a repeated event. Any advice on how I can avoid this?

Take out substrate and dry it in a big tote or bin set ur tegu up on newspaper till your done that's what I've done in past and it's worked

How do you keep the humidity up if the substrate is dry?

Can do some fresh sphagnum moss in the hide and a nice size water bowl and it humidity will be fine till you dry your substrate
