Why are there a bunch of gnats in my crested geckos live terrarium? Maybe 5-7 in one terrarium. I have two live terrariums. They aren’t on my gecko just one the dirt, plants, wood, etc.

Thanks for reaching out about Aspen. Gnats are attracted to decomposing plant material (food, live plants) and require a moist humid environ. Removing food daily, cleaning out moist substrate (bark, other wood) and removing dead plants could help. Good luck.
