Description

This bioactive clean-up crew pack is ideal for enclosures 60 gallons or larger or for animals that may "snack" on the isopods, and you want to get the isopods and springtails well established quickly. The pack contains one culture of 50+ Trichorhina tomentosa Dwarf White isopods, 50+ P. pruinosus Orange isopods, and two 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.

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

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.
