    Is that locally collected moss? PLEASE check for mites. I used to keep a whites and used local moss and even after boiling it it had mites! Nice thank though.

    I have read some good posts around the web about using dry ice to remove the mites from operating vivs with the inhabitants removed. I would love to see an informative article here if anyone has some good background in doing his... hint hint.

    Of coarse its another thing we did without taking pictures... wile my hands were always dirty or covered in silicone or something my daughter took the photos.. not all but especially then..... and I haven't one photo...the hard thing is getting the dry ice, was going to use co2 cartridges like I used to use when we played paintball, but I had a friend who works at the hospital get me a few pieces.However in theory the co2 would work if you could find a way to chamber it and puncture it into the holding box..

    I just want to be helpful, I have done many hours of research and study on how to do the things we've done on our viv here... I don't want to screw up and its too expensive in my opinion to do it all over... so if I can help someone else then that's cool! Glad to be on here...
