Caret Down

Silver Springtails (Seira dowlingi), formerly known as Entomobrya sp., are one of our favorite all-around workhorse springtails and an excellent choice for both arid and humid bioactive enclosures. Small and moderate-reproducing, Silver Springtails are outstanding cleaners and an additional food source for small amphibians and reptiles. They thrive in bioactive enclosures and isopod bins, making them a versatile addition to any vivarium setup.
