I'm all to familiar with red bugs, but reading these forums, you can get paranoid about all the other pests out there. I've started a strict policy of baths and dips for new additions. What are the signs to look for the other pests, monti eating nudi's and acro eating flatworms, or any others that I don't know about yet?

look for tissue loss, bare skeleton, egg masses, no PE. Anything that doesn't look right.
