Ugh!!!!

well.....when I went out to my critter room to take photos of my 2 gravid girls....I was greeted with this.......





several hundred bluebottle flies......no idea where they came from...nothing in here died..... oh well...I opened a window so some could escape...some also served a purpose... I caught a few and put in with my tarantulas and black widow!!!!

Re: Ugh!!!!

The first thing I´ve recognized was the spider on the window
The second photo looks like a mistake in food storage
Maybe you shall keep a gecko or spider free in the critter room?
