What is this worm? Nemertean? Nope. Flatworm. |

When you see reference to "nemerteans" they are actually, 99.99999% of the time, a terrestrial flatworm (Rynchodemus sylvaticus sp). Although there are terrestrial nemerteans, they are basically unheard of as viv pests whereas flatworms are common in vivs and greenhouses and mild climates, like Hawaii.
They are capable arthropod predators - including fruit flies and small isopods and they can consume them in large numbers when the worms' population booms. In my experience, they will decline over time to relative rarity. I have observed my frogs eating them more than once and now I rarely see one ever (less than than once every 6 months) and I observe my viv daily.
They 'ride' in on newly acquired bromeliads. They need moist almost wet conditions.
So: Remove the ones you see (they are especially active at night and on wet surfaces of leaves, broms and glass). There's not really anything else you can do to eliminate them quickly. They go after fruit flies, especially the larger 'worms', and you will also see the tell-tale husks of dead flies clinging to plants or glass.
1. Relax. Take a deep breath. NO NEED for a vivarium tear-down and god forbid a silly 'dry ice/ CO2' blunder that almost never works for any viv pest - doesn't kill the eggs and adults survive more than you would think. Chemicals and poisons are goofy and preposterous. Don't consider them.
1. They WILL peter out. Every vivarium pest has a 'boom and bust' cycle. They will NOT harm your frogs, froglets or frog eggs.
2. Use a paper towel section or a Kleenex ripped in half -no need to waste an entire paper product and grab them and ball up the paper and into the trash .NO way they are surviving that. Just keep at it, and after a while of hand-removing them, you will see less and less and then....none. I have hand removed at least a dozen vivs and they go away quicker than you think and rarely come back and never 'with a vengeance'.

PVC tank construction methods? |

- I am hoping to build a large tank out of pvc, and have a bunch of questions on materials/construction methods. I'm going to try and list my top questions here, but if you have a chance and feel like sharing your experience, i would appreciate your help!
1. Can you send me a link with the exact pvc product you use? I'm having trouble sourcing it in my area..
2. Does the PVC flex at all/ problematically?
3. How thick of pvc would you recommend? My dimensions will be 48x24x24
4. Do you only use cement as a bonder? Do you screw the boards together as well? Do you have a link to the cement you used?
5. Do you silicone the joints as well?
6. For a large tank like the one i am building, how would you support the glass top? I am worrying about flex. (And how thick would you make the glass).
I've use glass euro styles, but i've never built one this large.
