    Flys in snakeroom

    I was in the room awhile ago and seen a couple small flys, like gnats or somthing flying around the room. Will this be a problem if they get into my boa tank or BP rack? Its not that the room is dirty or unkept, because its summer, super hot and humid here and i guess they get in from the patio which is down the hall. Any help is appreciated!!

    Seems like they would be fruit flies and I don't think they would be a problem... Our bedroom is filling up with them now that it's hotter. I have 3 cockroach colonies along with a superworm and mealworm colony, I feed them fresh fruits and veggies so that is where they are coming from.

    They won't bother anything but if they bother you just get a fly strip and hang it in the room somewhere. From the light fixture or somewhere else out if the way. Within a couple days it should catch them all.
