The Porcellionides pruinosus “Powder Blue” isopods are a popular and attractive species, known for their soft, powdery blue-gray coloration that gives them a unique and appealing look. As a smaller species of isopod, these fast-moving and highly adaptable creatures are ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists, thriving in a variety of environmental conditions. Their ability to reproduce quickly and their hardiness make them an excellent choice for bioactive terrariums or as a part of a cleanup crew.

“Powder Blue” isopods are detritivores, feeding on decaying organic matter, which helps maintain a clean and healthy environment in their enclosure. They are particularly well-suited for bioactive setups, where they contribute to the breakdown of waste and organic debris.

The Temperate White Springtail (Folsomia Candida) is a staple in bioactive setups, providing natural waste management and aeration to substrates. These tiny, soft-bodied arthropods thrive in humid environments and are essential for maintaining a clean and balanced ecosystem in terrariums and vivariums. They actively break down decaying organic matter, mold, and excess waste, making them an excellent addition to bioactive enclosures for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Each starter culture contains a thriving population of springtails in various life stages, shipped with a clay-based medium. Simply add food and mist with water lightly to encourage growth and expansion of your colony.
