    Vermiculite Bugs
    Hey, on Brian's latest video, "Baby Snakes' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXG5rK6imto around the 4:40 mark a little bug skirts across the vermiculite. What are these bugs? I have had these bugs in my vermiculite before and I think they come from the bag that I purchase. They crawl all over the eggs but don't really do much to them. Meaning, they don't appear to harm them. I have changed my containers out with new vermiculite and sometimes they return. Does anyone know what they are? If they are/can be harmful? What are they feeding on (if anything)? Could it be the brand vermiculite I'm using?

    Thanks everyone. I look forward to some feedback.

    Yea...after looking at it again...I actually see him fly in. But I have had little bugs in my vermiculite before and have not figured out what they are. I think they were just in the bag I bought and I have thrown it away now just in case.
