Hallo Rainer! Ich habe dich gesehen wenn du in Florida warst!

In other words, I saw you (and spoke to you briefly) at a reptile show about 2 years ago - I think it was at the F.I.R.E. near Orlando. You had a table set up there, so I'm sure you don't remember me. I'll be in Daytona this year how about you?

About the nasty gnats: The only way I got rid of them is the hard way - wiping them off the eggs every day until there were no more. At the same time you MUST make sure that the eggs are in airtight containers until about a week before they hatch (done it this way for many years and been very successful. Then the gnats can't harm them IF they enter again.

Thw only reason I had gnats on those grass snake eggs is because I THOUGHT the container was airtight - it wasn't!!! Those pesky gnats are so tiny, they'll find the smallest crack/hole to enter and then go for straight for the eggs!

Hope to see you in Daytona!



Auf wiedersehn or Tsuesch!
