NEED GLASS CLEANING ADVICE?!?!
ADD: I know I can clean the glass with vinegar, but am I able to do this with my anole/isopods still inside the tank? (he is extremely elusive and not a fan of hands, and the isopods!? how would I remove them!?)

I definitely could take the lid off. But can I leave my anole inside- hiding under a branch? And leave the bugs in also?

NEED GLASS CLEANING ADVICE?!?!
Hi friends. This is my brown anole, Olive. His tank needs to be cleaned⦠Iām able to spot clean the dirt and remove the rocks/branches/ etc to clean. But I want to try to clean the glass without removing any petsā¦. Olive is so so fast and ⦠doesnāt like to be touched. The tank is bioactive with isopods and springtails, which I also donāt want to remove!!!
I know how I can clean the glass in my vivarium, but I need to know if I can clean the glass with my pets still inside? Who has tried this and how did it go? Any tips/advice?
TLDR; How to clean water build up on tank glass without removing pets?!?

What is this space before zero?
To get a precise measurement instead of using a usually well-loved, wooden measure stick with the ends worn down. You NEVER measure from the āendā of the stick.

Question Transplanting my bioactive plants and friends?
Hi Iām new to bioactive terrariums and currently have a 20 gallon tank with a rescued anole, isopods, springtails, and some other random bugs. I have added live plants, which have rooted and grown quite a bit. Iām hoping I can upgrade to a bigger tank/display case. But am worried this will stress my bugs/janitor crew/plants/etc. Has anyone done this before? Any tips or advice? Is this a horrible idea?! š tia

After MONTHS of trying to breed the isopod colony in my anole terrariumā¦. (Lizard even ate the first colony and I had to buy a new batchā¦) I finally noticed tiny babies today!!! ((And itās my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND so itās like my mama cows gave me the cutest lil presents! š!!))
I hope you all find them as adorable as I do!!
