yup... I think they like humidity, my skinks have 'em bad. They don't hurt anything.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."

we see those once in a while in a batch of substrates. i either toss out the substrate or hit it with Black Knight.

Putting the mulch in the oven for 30 minutes at 350F will kill anything that might be alive in it . Disposable aluminum turkey pans work great for baking the mulch.
