Description

Caret Down

This bioactive clean-up crew pack contains one culture of 20+ Trichorhina tomentosa Dwarf White isopods, 15+ P. pruinosus Party Mix isopods, and an 8 oz. culture of a mixture of semi-arid species of springtails on substrate.   This combo pack will provide the essential microfauna for your bioactive enclosure.  These are safe and appropriate for most reptiles/amphibians.  Add on any P. laevis or a culture of pruinosus isopods for a yummy treat for your bearded dragon.  For enclosures over 60 gallons, we offer a large enclosure clean-up crew which has two 8oz. cultures of mixed springtails, 50 Dwarf White isopods, and 50 P. pruinosus Party Mix isopods.

We also offer options to add discounted isopods to the bearded dragon bioactive clean-up crew if you want to have more isopods in your bioactive habitat.  All of the options contain the Original Leopard Gecko Clean-Up Crew Pack (8oz. culture of mixed species of springtails, 20 dwarf white isopods, and 15 P. pruinosus Party isopods), in addition to whichever additional isopod is listed.

 

Other isopods/springtails that do well in desert/arid bioactive enclosures include any P. pruinosus (Powder Blue, Orange,  Oreo Crumble, Orange Cream, Red Koi), Lepidocyrtus fimicolus 24K, Seira dowlingi Silver, Coecobrya communis Tropical/Pink. and P. laevis Gray/Dairy Cow/Milkback/Orange/White; however, use caution when using P. laevis them as a clean-up crew with small animals as they enjoy protein, and there is always a rare chance P. laevis could injure small animals if the isopods are not provided enough leaves or supplemental food such as veggie scraps and dried protein such as mealworms or fish flake.  

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.  Springtails are shipped in a container of topsoil and peat moss.  Both containers can be simply dumped on top of the enclosure's substrate.  There is no need to "bury" them in the substrate.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.

Nope don’t buy

Even though I checked not to deliver if it’s too hot, they did anyway. I emailed the company immediately after opening where I found most of them dead. I never heard back from the company. Won’t be buying from them again nor will I recommend them to anyone.

Hi Vinnie,

I first received an email from you on July 15th at 11:38 a.m., and I responded to you four minutes later on July 15th at 11:42 a.m. Your box was delivered to your address on July 16th at 10:57 a.m. because you did not request for the box to be held at the post office for pick up. I received an email from you on July 16th at 5:56 p.m. stating your area was having a heat wave, but you were going to add the clean-up crew to your bearded dragon's enclosure. I responded to your email 14 minutes later on July 16th at 6:12 p.m. I received no response. I even sent a follow-up email on July 18th at 8:29 a.m. since I had not heard back from you. I've tried my best to assist. Thank you for your review.
