Tropical White Springtails (Collembola sp.)

Tropical White Springtails (Collembola sp.) are tiny, soft-bodied arthropods that play a crucial role in bioactive terrariums and vivariums. Often called the “janitors” of the tank, they feed on mold, decaying plant matter, and animal waste — helping maintain a clean, healthy environment for your reptiles, amphibians, or invertebrates.

These springtails thrive in warm, humid setups and are especially beneficial in tropical enclosures or isopod cultures.

✅ Key Features:

• 🧼 Natural Clean-Up Crew – Consumes mold, fungi, and organic waste.

• 🌿 Supports Bioactive Balance – Helps prevent mold outbreaks and substrate fouling.

• 💧 Tropical Species – Thrives in high humidity and warm temperatures.

• ♻️ Self-Sustaining – Reproduces quickly in suitable conditions.

📦 What’s Included:

• A live starter culture of Tropical White Springtails (Collembola sp.), housed in a ventilated container with substrate (usually charcoal or soil-based).

• Ready to seed directly into your bioactive enclosure or grow into a thriving colony.

🧪 Care & Use:

• Mist regularly to maintain humidity.

• Feed lightly with brewers yeast, uncooked rice grains, or springtail-specific food.

• Can be used directly in terrariums or cultured separately for later use.

🌟 Pro Tip: Add springtails before introducing other animals to establish a strong microfauna base and reduce long-term maintenance.
