Temperate White Springtails (Folsomia candida), also known as Collembola springtails or common white springtails, are a long-time staple clean-up crew member for bioactive vivariums and terrariums. One of the original springtails used in bioactive tanks, they are also used as micro feeders for small reptiles and amphibians. Note: there are more efficient cleaner springtails available — we recommend browsing our other springtail listings or chatting with us to find the best fit for your setup.Best for: Bioactive vivariums, humid terrariums, micro feeders, beginner springtail keepersFolsomia candida require a humid, damp environment and spend most of their time within the soil. The culture can simply be placed on top of the substrate layer of a vivarium and they will establish themselves naturally. This is an 8oz. culture on soil containing 100+ springtails. One of the very few springtails that can survive on charcoal, though we recommend soil for best results. We feed baking yeast.Why IHEARTBUGS?
