Re: white things in my leos water
Young crickets would die in a pool of water. Crickets, if wanting to have babies, wouldn't do it in the water bowl. More likely under a hide or something. As others have said...pictures would be nice.

Re: white things in my leos water
i have changed the water and rinsed the bowl out - well scrubbed it - but within 5 mins, they were back but the following day, they dissappeared. i have discovered some (what looks like) spider egg sacks directly above the water in a crevice on a log so im thinking that thas what they couldve been.
thanks to all of your advice

Re: white things in my leos water

i have absolutely no idea, its a mystery but 1 thing that springs to mind is a common house spider got into the tank through the air holes and found the log to be the perfect laying ground but thats just speculation

Re: white things in my leos water
Guess you are gonna have to clean out that log more often then. Do a check to make sure it is vermin free. I do the same thing in my leopards tank every once and a while. So many hiding places for small critters.
