This clean up crew pack is made for Ball Python enclosures. It contains isopods and tropical springtails that aerate the substrate as the terrarium cycles and grows. This helps because Ball Pythons can be sedentary at times.
The isopods and springtails work with the Dude's BioShot to break down organic matter such as feces, shed and other waste. They do not harm or bother the snake. Ball Pythons produce minimal waste, so these smaller crews can maintain the vivarium.
Porcellionides pruinosus are hardy, softer-bodied isopods that get relatively large. They need plenty of hardwood and biodegradables, typically stay on the top layer of the substrate and grow very quickly. Tropical springtails breed in almost any temperature or humidity gradient and degrade organic matter quickly. They come in a 6 ounce container with at least a 10 day life cycle already established in the culture.
