Springtails

AK Reptiles and Custom Background Designs offer the finest springtails, maintained fresh and under strict quality control to enhance long-term reproduction and health. Through regular upkeep and detailed inspections, we ensure a high-yield, fresh batch free of contaminants.

Springtails are the most efficient cleaners for terrariums, feeding on mold and waste, with a rapid reproduction rate. These springtails are packaged with clean coco-coir and can be cultured in their existing substrate, requiring only humidity and additional food. Their population self-regulates based on food availability, leading to varying numbers in terrariums as the ecosystem cycles through different stages of decomposition. Additionally, they serve as a food source for amphibians and small reptiles.

Includes:

• Large quantity of springtails
• AK Reptiles and Custom Background Designs Sticker

Each container is densely populated and undergoes rigorous quality checks to guarantee a completely clean substrate without contaminants, ensuring your terrarium remains pristine.

The packaging material allows for direct use as a terrarium soil additive.

This particular springtail species can consume invasive mites and nematodes, although it prefers other food sources when available.

Suitable for:

• Tropical / Semi-tropical setups
• Small and large reptile and amphibian enclosures
• Arachnid enclosures
