Product Details

The shiniest species I carry. Their scales have a pearlescent shimmer.

Pearlescent Springtails are a great cleanup crew for all sorts of moderate to high humidity enclosures and do well alongside other springtails that aren't extremely fast breeding. See the Cleanup Crew Guides for more information: www.springtails.us/cleanup-crew-guides

Culture Pearlescent Springtails on Springtail Clay, soil, or Springtail Plaster. Feed yeast, dry rice, or Springtails US springtail food mixes. See the Care Guides for more information: www.springtails.us/care-guides

Current restock schedule: Weekly (usually Saturday nights)

Ships on damp paper towel. See the "Springtail Shipping Methods" section on the FAQ page to learn why I use paper towel and how to transfer them to a culture.

Definitely more than 50 of these in the cup I received!! These are an easy favorite of mine so I am happy there were plenty to seed enclosures with right off the bat.

Love these guys they are a great addition to other springtails they have a decent appetite. They dont mind humidity and have no problem going around on dry land . They also climb as well so that great. These and bylas are the best cleanup crew duo hands down
