    Default ISO: springtails

    Looking to do a trade for some springtails. I have dwarf white isopods, dubias, hissers, and lats I can offer in trade. Going to be great priority shipping weather around here this upcoming week. Let me know if your interested via PM.

    Each party pays their own half of the shipping.

    Sorry Matt, I just split my one breeding culture into 4 cultures. I'm now waiting for 3 of them to boom :/

    I can also vouch for Josh's cultures. They are fantastic!

    Thanks guys, I may actually order from joshes if I dont get any interest from either of the boards I posted this on. I usually tend to avoid ordering inverts from larger dealers that only give LAG on express shipments, but I was looking around and turns out if temps are right he'll ship spring tails 2 day w/ LAG

    You are right, we had a few days of low temps; but by mid next week the bonanza will be over and I'm bed ridden with a flu right now . Maybe it's time to get a culture from Josh before weather changes. Myself grabbed one with my frogs at the Raleigh show .

    Springtails....? You mean those irritating lil buggers that like to live in the watering saucers of my African violets and hop all over the place?? You want them and I want to figure out how to kill em off without using a bunch of chemical crud. I propagate AVs by leaf cuttings and the friggin springtails like to nibble on the newly sprouted plantlings. Had no idea these minute monsters were used for feeding Phibs, lol. :P

    Actually I want them for clean up crews in enclosures for young tarantulas, but yes they are food for little amphibians as well
