Thanks for your help to those who posted responses in the past for me regarding my male not putting on weight. Things are going better for me and I think he is just not eating as much as the female was definately gravid. I walked in on her laying her first 2 eggs ever this morning. Needless to say I made a mad dash to the local ag store and got a Hova Bator and I hope things work out.
On to the question...my set-up includes 2 large half-log pieces of cork bark. The leos seem to love this and they use them for a hide and to bask on at night. They climb all over them. But so do the mealworms apparently. While I was in the process of cleaning the cage tonight I noticed that I saw a few mealworms had dug their way into the cork. Then I noticed a beetle-to my surprise. Then a few more. 6 in all. I took the cork out and soaked it but is their anything I can do to keep this for happening again? I clean the dead bugs out everyday and monitor their eating but I can not see them in the cork when they dig into it like that. I don't want to take it out unless I have to. And can the beetles hurt the leos?
Thanks
