awww almost made u laugh but yes life is boring. anyways i saw the thread b/c it's recent and on the front page and it's a pretty interesting topic and i asked a pretty relevant question. flies and other flying bugz like to lay eggs in water. so it's entirely plausible that water coulda been the medium in which your Reptichips got gnats or whatever. i would switch out the current Reptichips or switch substrates and stay on top of husbandry until the flies go away.

I don’t think it has anything to do with husbandry tbh, I think it’s just a common “problem” with reptichip. Just trying to figure out the species of bug so I can figure out how to control them.

How long have you had them and how bad is the infestation? I only ask because I've seen a few on a couple different occasions after fresh reptichip was put in but I just ignored them and each time they go away in a fairly short amount of time. You may be able to just wait it out and they'll go away on their own.

Wouldn’t call it an infestation by any means, I occasionally see them with fresh reptichip, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t the only one.
