Hi everyone, I know the usual suspects for a great bio-active substrate are Springtails, Woodlice and some other little critters like that. But I read that superworm larvae and beetles can be used too?

I thought that sounded great because then my lizards can forage for them and they will clean up waste as well as eat the potato and carrot I have in there for them, but now I am worrying they may pester my animals?

Over worrying?

Also, side question.. I have a small reptile lamp with one of those metal guards. I want to use just the ceramic fixture so, removing the guard. But the switch for the lamp prevents me from unscrewing and removing the top part of the ceramic so the guard can slide off. Am I going to have to cut the guard off somehow? any ideas?
