Care Information

  • Habitat: Prefers a well-ventilated enclosure with a substrate mix of coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, and leaf litter. Maintaining a moist environment is essential, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
  • Temperature and Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C) with humidity levels around 55-70%. While they favor high humidity, ensure proper ventilation to prevent excessively damp conditions.
  • Diet: Feeds on decaying organic matter, leaf litter, vegetables, and supplemental protein sources such as fish flakes or dried shrimp. Providing a calcium source, like cuttlebone, supports healthy exoskeleton development.
  • Behavior: Primarily nocturnal and moderately active; they are social creatures that thrive in groups. Reproduction rates are moderate, and with proper care, they establish well in captive environments.

Live Arrival Guaranteed

Note: To prevent mold growth and maintain a healthy environment, consider adding springtails as a clean-up crew within the enclosure. Regular monitoring of humidity levels and ensuring proper ventilation will promote the well-being of your Spherillo sp. "Dream" colony.
