A sphagnum peat moss culture of temperate white springtails (Folsomia Candida). I try to age cultures 1-2 weeks prior to shipping so population levels should be high. Cultures will contain springtails of all sizes. Young springtails are very, very small. Peat cultures are ideal for the easy seeding of animal enclosures.
Temperate white springtails are a hardy variety that thrive at room temperature. Keep between 50-85°F for sustained survival. Cultures can tolerate freezing temperatures briefly. Roughly 3 mm (0.1 in) long when mature.
Will require a moist area / water source in habitats to survive. Keep in a high humidity environment with ample food to rapidly increase numbers. If using a sealed container vent periodically to restore oxygen levels.
Feed on decomposing matter, mold, and feces. May be fed to small amphibians. For supplemental feeding use Baker's or Brewer's Yeast for best results. View my other postings for animal grade Brewer's Yeast!
