[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 203560, member: 29323"] Springtails are a good idea, but not in a species that needs dry conditions, like a Tliltocatl albopilosus. I have sprintails in several enclosures & a tub that I keep for top ups & new enclosures etc. Personally I look after my springtails. I regularly add dried yeast to feed my springtails & I add some dead leaves. I have no idea what species my sprintails are. I brought a small starter colony off ebay, looked after them & now have them in over half a dozen enclosures, plus a massive colony & have passed some on. And no springtails will not cause any molting issues. They only really eat mold, hence why I feed mine dried yeast, [/QUOTE]
