Springtails- Collembolla spp.

Springtails also make a great snack for dart frogs. We offer heavily packed culture starters that can be used as a snack for your frogs, added directly to your tank, or used to start a master culture to have as a back up food source or to replenish your bioactive soil as needed.

Rough Isopods- Porcellio scaber
Mix (Dalmatian, orange and gray mixed) 12ct- $15. SOLD OUT
These are quick producers and tolerate a wide range of environments as long as they have good ventilation and access to a humid/damp area. They are voracious protein seekers and should not be kept with very small or delicate inhabitants.
Zebra Isopods- Armadillidium maculatum
12ct – $20
These are relatively slow producers and slow growers but are quite hardy. Moderate to high humidity is best for these isopods.

Common Isopod- Armadillidium vulgarae
20ct – $15
This is your typical backyard Rolly Polly. The benefit of using captive bred individuals instead of catching them from outside is that any environmental contaminants that they may have been exposed to/ingested have been bred out over a couple generations. This is a fairly prolific species but slow to grow to maturity. They tolerate a wide range of environments. They are often seen foraging above the soil so they make a great isopod for a display.
