I use sow bugs, found under a log. They're similar in size to 'rollie pollies' but can't roll into a ball. There was already a small colony in my basement, so these aren't a major infestation concern. They've never managed to breed in overwhelming numbers in a frog tank either, they get picked off by the frogs.

There are probably many hundreds of species that get called sow bug or rollie pollie though.

I've never had a springtail breakout either. They need moisture to survive and don't seem keen on fleeing the vivarium.
