Any idea how to keep fungus under control in an emperor enclosure? Input would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Isopods! Get a good cleanup crew. They help a lot.

The three best ways to keep fungus and other nasty stuff from appearing is to keep the enclosure well ventilated so that the air doesn't become too stale. Removing of uneaten prey and discarded parts of prey is also advised and like mentioned, isopods help keep the enclosure clean by eating all the rotting matter in the enclosure.

I'm thinking about ordering some isopods myself. Anyone have any suggestions about how many isopods per enclosure?
