So I'm wanting to go live plants n all super fancy. I'm not seeing any issues online regarding springtails but figure I would ask here. Would adding this to my encloser be harmful?
Not at all, springtails will be very beneficial to your enclosure & maintenance. I have them in almost all my enclosures, It's amazing how much waste they can consume.
Na they are fine the Tegu will destroy any live plants though
Heads up I have heard that marijuana plants can be toxic if consumed by most pet reptiles. I grow as well, but in a tent completely isolated from my reptiles. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
if you have bio active boost for your plants/substrate you would be surprised how fast their waste breaks down. I added a pack of spring tails and isopods i got from www.joshsfrogs.com They reproduce very quickly! Though my little girl just goes in her second/smaller water bowl which I am totally fine with! Sometimes I just dump it the soil then rinse it clean. Easy!Are those packs of springtails online sufficient enough to start the bioactive enclosure or should some other be ordered? I’m gonna go for bioactive I think
When you mean bioactive boost do you mean like the leaf litter and stuff you would add or the poop and moldy/uneaten food? And when you add the isopods and springtails in there, what do you mean you just rinse it clean? Thank you so much. A little elaboration would be great lol as I want to get it right. Get the isopods, springtails, toss them in the substrate and mix it around omg with water and leaf litter and such? What else should I do? Any specifics would be much appreciated
Thanks!
Something like this starter pack should do it? Or should I focus heavier on certain aspects
