In this video I will set up a culture for orange springtails.
Unfortunatly I am not sure if these are Bilobella braunerae because there is some missidentification about them.

  • I love that you give a moisture gradient to them. Most videos I have seen the keepers do not bother to provide that for springtails. And the drainage layer.
  • theyre so cute!! thank you for this content, youre so thoughtful in making their little home

    You are really underrated! And these springtails are amazing! Keep up the good work!
  • Those little tippy-tappy feet are adorable! Would you do a terrarium with isopods by chance?

    Fish food in flake form is by far the best food for them they love it πŸ‘ love the video

    Hi, I just subscribed πŸ™‚ Are they as hardy as regular springtails? Do they clean up terrariums as well as other springtails?
  • @gomosh6967
    Nice to see springtail in orange colour. Do springtail sleep? :)
  • @leighlasley4746
    Are these able to be cultured like regular springtails; in charcoal and water?
  • @donteague614
    What other foods do they like a lot? How long until you see babies? Any issues with mites or nematodes?
  • Your substrate is quite surprising to the normal. Did they breed pretty well for you? Also how many did you originally start with?

    What is the perfect temperature for them? Thank you
