Springtails (Arid)

Reptile Ready Springtails help keep your vivarium clean, which means fewer substrate changes. These insects live in the substrate of your vivarium and eat waste, mold, and decaying organic matter. Springtails are low maintenance and aid in the bioactive cycle of your vivarium.

The springtails are in an 8 oz plastic deli cup with substrate and some Reptile Ready Springtail Chow for food. Springtails that are picked up locally are in horticultural charcoal; springtails that are shipped are in soil to prevent injury to the springtails during transit.

Please note that springtails do require moisture to survive. Simply mist a dark place in your enclosure (such as underneath a rock, leaf litter, hide, piece of wood) to provide them a moist hiding place.
