Springtails are tiny arthropods found in almost every eco-system of the planet. These tiny, quick creatures will breed in your Bio Dude bioactive terrarium with ease and will help aerate you substrate, benefit your live plants and provide a tasty snack for some  of your smaller critters, such as Poison Dart Frogs.

All Bio Dude springtail cultures are packaged in a sealed 6 ounce plastic container and are started 10-14 days prior to being available to you. Available in two species, Arid (giant white) and Humid (Folsomia Sp).
