Reptile & Amphibian Forums

so i have a 200 gallen tank that i started with a ball python. i got it set up with a pond with a filter and a turtle heater and fish. i have spider plants and leafy vine plants and a tree, also there is moss over the intire bottem of the tank.
with all the greenery theres bugs that ended up in there. so i got green anoles and a green tree grog and also a little chubby frog. they have lived together for a while but i want to find bugs that i can put in there that will help with getting rid of the dead leaves but at the same time i dont want anyone to get hurt from the bugs and at the same time i dont just want to feed crickets.
if you are worried that the snake is going to eat anyone she is too picky and will only eat rats.

YOU GOT THE RIGHT IDEA!!! Go big mix it up! Water blisters coming to a Ball Python near you. Check its belly scales. Tea in the pond may help but I'd remove the Ball and go all out swamp stuff. Cray fish, Maybe a baby waterdragon or sailfin dragon. I did one but it was 20'x 18' off the side of my house and over the roof. House window looked out on it and a patio on the outside. It had Albino Bullfrogs, baby Mt.tortoises, Iguanas, Monkey tailed Scink, fish, aqu.turtles, Box turtles and a live tree growing through the roof. Also when you paint hardware cloth wire black...it disapears. Go for it ,build one you can get in. If you have a "L" shapped house two sides ane already done! There are no transparent 90 degree angles in Nature. pic 4000 sf for one pair, but it all started with a 10 gal. aqu. on a ironing board in the spair bedroom. Now that stupid Waynes World*(HSUS) wants to end it all. VM

so i have checked the belly of my snake and she has no spots and her belly is actually ivery white again. she has some dry land and that is where her "hide" is. other than that it is all moss and moist and she has been so happy. and she has evven "checked out" the anoles and the anoles will even sit there and eat the little bugs off her. no they are not reptile mites i haave already had the tank and all in it checked. thank you for the advice though.

Not bugs - but what about earth worms? Don't get ones at the bait shop, chemicals are added to keep them alive. Best to get them as feeder worms.
