Springtails For Sale:

Springtails are amazing little critters that help solve a lot of problems in bioactive setups and terrariums. In a bioactive setup, the springtails work with the isopods to create the perfect clean up crew – the isopods break down larger waste created by the primary inhabitants, while the springtails eat the mold and fungus that thrives in humid setups. Fungus gnats and most mites that end up in terrariums also feed on mold and fungus, so a healthy springtail population can eventually outcompete the gnats and mites for food and control the populations.

Starter cultures include enough springtails to seed one enclosure, or start your own master culture.

Shipped on Sphagnum moss to ensure springtails are not crushed in transit. Typically on charcoal when picking up locally without shipping.
