These are prolific breeders so long as they have enough humidity and food.

To keep and breed springtails outside of enclosures for a more controlled method of distribution, use a tub with one or no air holes. charcoal or clay. For charcoal, fill half way to the charcoal with spring, drinking or bottled water, never tap. Feed springtail food or fish flakes every 1-2 weeks, provide calcium powder monthly to stimulate growth. For clay, make a mixture of clay and water together until it is a mud like consistency, add your springtails, and feed on the same schedule with the same food options. If no air holes are provided in said container, you must open it for 10-30 seconds every 3-4 days to ensure no loss of life. REMEMBER THESE ARE HUMID, TROPICAL SPECIES OF SPRINGTAIL, THESE WILL NOT WORK FOR YOUR BEARDED DRAGON AND LIZARDS OF ARID CLIMATES ALIKE.
