Description

Springtails help keep your vivarium clean, meaning less time picking up after your animals.

These tiny insects live in the substrate of your vivarium and eat waste and mold while also digging tunnels to increase oxygen flow. That’s why we call Springtails “Tank Janitors”.

Springtails are low maintenance.

An added bonus – animals like to eat springtails. Dart frogs like to nibble on these guys as they walk past, making them a perfect snack.

They arrived safe and sound despite the March weather, well-packaged, and seemed quite active.

It took a while for the springtails to become visible. After adding them to the enclosure, it took roughly a month of rarely seeing any before their numbers grew. I thought the isopods might have eaten them, but now there are lots. When they first arrived, I couldn't see any in the cup, alive or dead, but they started to appear after warming it under the heat panel for a while.

    Delivery was prompt and without complication, however upon arrival 3/4 containers of Springtails appeared to be dead, while one was very obviously active – as this is my first time purchasing I wasn’t sure if there was something I neglected to do, or if perhaps the ones that seemed dead were simply dormant, or if they had eggs that would mature. Some accompanying advice/information with these purchases might be a great resource for first time buyers. Otherwise, great experience.

    One colony was DOA, zero movement even with poking around in the charcoal. The other is fine.

    Well worth the price – I’ve bought from reptile stores and have never received so many springtails! Very nice that they are shipped on charcoal too – they are doing a good job in my isopod containers
