ok, I have a strange question...I seem to have a cricket infestation in my "snake room"; are they a threat to any of my snakes (thus meaning I need to clean all substrates now), or should I just wait until they are adults and remove them from all cages?? Apparently a cricket laid some eggs in the fire skinks cage, and now I have tiny little crickets showing up all over the room. Most are in the fire skinks cage, but I've also found a couple in about every snakes water bowl. And yes, they are crickets, not mites; I've looked at them with a magnifying glass and they are clearly baby crickets. Should I be concerned?
