Gist is basically my beardie ate at most one fly and one mosquito a few weeks apart, seems totally fine but I’m worried with hotter weather it could happen more often. Should I do more to prevent this/what should I do?
With the weather getting warmer we leave the back door open for our dog to go in and out and while it does have a mosquito net random flies, mosquitos, gnats get in from time to time.
I think they are attracted to the uvb/light in her tank in general because they always seem to end up in our beardie’s tank. 90% of the time it’s really small gnats that she doesn’t seem too pressed about but every once in awhile it’s a fly or something that’s bigger that definitely gets her attention. It’s not a lot like one every three/four days and I’m still working from home so I usually notice and try to get them out. The other day I wasn’t quick enough and she ate a mosquito. I know this isn’t great but I’m wondering how serious of an issue this is?
Should I put more fine mesh over her tank’s ventilation?
Also - We keep her tank very clean so it’s not like they are attracted to stagnant food or poop.
