Little Flies

Aspen shavings are much easier to find than aspen bark.

sometimes if youre substrate is overly wet you get those flies. i used to get them when i kept live planted tanks for uroplatus geckos. i never got those flies using the bark from a pet store though but it is possible if youre substrate it too wet.

as was said, aspen is a good way to go and when you use it long enough you wont even remember that you had a fly problem.

and if youre going to the pet store to buy it stay away from the reptile section and go to the small animal department and get it there. you'll get much more aspen for much less the cost. also be sure that it is only aspen in the bag because there are mixes out there as well.

ooops; that's what I meant. Thanks for the correction, Mykee!

Thanks so much for all your help!!
I'll do the paper towel until my flies are gone and then I'll try some
of the aspen shavings from the small animal section.
