Description

Caret Down

The best safe isopods and springtails for Sand boas/Rosy boas or any snake that lives in a semi-arid envioronment.  This bioactive clean-up crew pack contains one culture of 20+ Trichorhina tomentosa Dwarf White isopods, 15+ P. pruinosus Orange 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.  It is very important to provide a damp area in the enclosure with leaves/leaf litter because even semi-arid isopods and springtails need some moisture to survive, and leaves are isopods' main food source.

Other isopods/springtails that do well in semi-arid bioactive enclosures include Trichorhina tomentosa Dwarf White, any P. pruinosus isopods, Lepidocyrtus fimicolus 24K, Pseudosinella violenta Bylas Ant, Seira dowlingi Silver, and Coecobrya communis Pink/Tropical.  P. laevis Gray/Dairy Cow/Milkback/Orange/White also do well in semi-arid enclosures.

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.
