Hey everyone,
I'm looking into getting my first gtp and I'm trying to tackle different scenarios before any problems arise. (I'm posting this on a couple different forums so I apologize if you've seen this topic before) I'm working on my enclosure right now and I wanted to use live plants to help with the humidity and aesthetics of the cage. I'm worried about any possible insect/bug infestations that could come along with using live plants down the road and was wondering if anyone had ever thought about using ladybugs inside the cages. I imagine they would be beneficial in combating any infestation or could even help with mites (heaven forbid) if my snake was to succumb to an infestation. What are your thoughts and feelings with this idea? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
