    Default White worms in Whites tree frog substrate.

    Hey i'm new to the forum so hi all .

    I'm wondering if any of you could help me, in my whites tree frogs substrate there are these little white worms that i noticed against the glass that have wiggled down between the substrate/drainage separation liner.

    You can just about make them out in the picture they are white hair like worms that look like tiny roots.

    Any information on these would be great, thank you!

    Its really hard to say. It could be a baby earth worm. Any way that you can dig one out and take a better pic?

    Im not sure. Ive just dug some out but they're so tiny and break easily. I noticed that the skinny white worms can climb the glass...

    Also while i was digging them out i noticed that there is also a clear tiny worm type micro fauna with a black head. That's the fatter one in the picture.
    I was told by someone at a exotics pet store that they should'nt harm the frogs as they are found in the substrate and could be just part of the eco system, is that right? Also do you know if they will effect my springtails.

    Thanks for your response!

    Until they are identified I would not rule anything out. I'm really nots sure what they are. Could be nematodes. But let someone else jump in.
