Description
One of our favorite arid springtails for bioactive enclosures and isopod bins. These are a smaller species that spends more time in the soil than on the surface, but they reproduce well once established, and they can tolerate arid environments. Upon magnification they are iridescent. You will not regret adding some 24K to your isopod bin or bioactive. This is an 8oz. culture on a soil substrate that contains 50+ springtails. Very limited quantities available.
Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.
Springtails will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss and organic topsoil.
Skill level: Beginner springtail
Humidity: Tolerates humid and arid environments but thrives in arid
Breeding: Moderate breeder that breeds easily once it gets established
Feeding: We feed baking yeast

I received a culture of springtails that looked pretty inactive, but I buried it anyway to see what would happen. I was in contact with Sara the whole time and once it appeared that the first culture didn't take off, she sent me a replacement, no questions asked. Amazing service! The new culture is getting established and doing great.
