Live Temperate Springtails (Collembola) Mature Clay Cultures

Description: Original clay springtail cultures by Jesse Isaiah - As my residency has become more time consuming, I have moved to selling these only through eBay for the time being. Springtails are detritivores that will consume decaying plant material, mold and waste in your bioactive enclosure. Unlike cultures grown on charcoal, these cultures can be gently tapped out into your vivarium. No need to flood the culture and have them float out. If you keep the moisture content at the right level, the soil in the culture will stay attached to the bottom and will not fall into your vivarium. Great for terrariums, vivariums, bioactive setups, dart frog food, etc. Choose 4, 8,15 or 20 pack of live temperate springtail cultures. Each culture is in a standard 4.5 inch deli cup. We recommend several cultures per vivarium so that you are able to rotate them as the springtails re populate after harvesting them into the vivarium. We find the cultures repopulate in 1-2 weeks after harvesting them when they are fed our springtail diet, kept at room temperature and with moist but not wet conditions. **Add 1 LB of my custom blend of springtail food** I have made this blend for maximum springtail population growth. Cultures bloom with maximum population 7-14 days after feeding. I have added an option to purchase food only with zero cultures. This is a good option for those who are still feeding cultures but have run out of food. Now offering a 30 or 50 culture pack that are perfect for resellers to offer at shows or on their online sites. This option ships via fedEx. Same day shipping in most cases on orders placed Monday-Wednesday by 5 pm Eastern time. Orders placed Wednesday evening through Sunday will ship the following Monday. They are shipped via USPS priority mail in insulated packaging. I include heat or cool packs as indicated by the temperature.
