    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Soo I used a substrate in my boa's cage from Exo-Terra callled Jungle Earth. but recent I have begun to notice small little white bugs near where the water dish was placed. Anyone know what these are? How to get rid of them? and any suggestiuons for a better substrate?????

Sounds like wood mites. I'd suggest removing all the substrate and cleaning the cage thoroughly. The problem with wood mites is changing substrate won't solve the problem if you don't get rid of all of them. They eat wood and any wood product used for substrate will continue the cycle if they are still present.
 
I kind of figured it was something like that. I wouldn't expect them to be harmful to my snake. But do you have any suggestions for a better substrate?
