Hello

I have just recently overhauled my Crested Gecko's vivarium.

I am in an area where I cannot buy woodlice for my bio-active viv, so was wondering if anyone had any success with wild caught woodlice and earthworms? Are they safe for use in a viv?

Is there a way to, in a sense, "sterilize" them? By way of quarantine, etc?

Thanks in advance.

PS: here are some pics of his viv:

They are not for food, they ate for a 'clean-up crew' for my vivarium. I want it to be a bio-active tank that is somewhat self-sustaining. Proper insects and worms keep the soil clean an fertile.

I wish more people would answer.
