Springtails (Collembola sp.)

Springtails are tiny, soil-dwelling decomposers found worldwide, playing a crucial role in bioactive ecosystems by breaking down organic matter and preventing mold growth. These highly adaptable microfauna thrive in humid environments and reproduce quickly, making them an essential addition to terrariums, vivariums, and isopod cultures.

Care Information

  • Requires high humidity with a consistently moist substrate such as charcoal, coconut fiber, or peat moss
  • Prefers a well-ventilated enclosure to prevent excessive mold buildup
  • Feeds on decaying plant matter, fungi, yeast, and supplemental fish flakes
  • Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C)
  • Grows to approximately 0.5 to 2 mm as adults
  • Rapidly reproduces under ideal conditions, making them an effective cleanup crew for bioactive setups

Through all odds, the Isopods and Springtails survived!

Even with several days delay by the post office in the cold weather, my critters were packaged so well that there were no casualties!

So many springtails! Added some to each of my isopods enclosure and there’s still a ton in my culture just fed them some rice grains and they seem to be doing well.

True master culture! Blown away by the amount of springtails included. This will seed many more sub cultures. Fast shipping, making second order now! A+++

Wanted to make sure that we’d never run out of springtails.

Won’t have to worry about that now! We’ve got a standalone colony of springtails as well as some large habitat enclosures with prolific springtail colonies keeping the soil nice and clean ❤️

All of the adult arrived dead, but luckily there seems to be enough eggs on the clay to keep the culture going after rehydrating.
