**SLIME EATING SPRINGTAILS** Proof of active slime culture is required before springtails will be shipped out. We will reach out for a time stamped photo of your active slime before we process your order for shipment.
Rambutanura sp. "Thailand" are known for their bright red color, chubby bodies (chubbier with shorter spikes compared to the Vietnam locale), and raspberry-like appearance, they are exceptionally popular among vivarium and micro-fauna hobbyists for their unique size and love for feasting on slime molds.
Key Characteristics & Care
- Size: Massive for a springtail, reaching up to 3–5 mm in length.
- Diet: While they will clean up general organic decay, they are renowned "slime mold eaters" and are frequently fed Physarum polycephalum.
- Lifecycle: Females lay clutches of eggs in bark crevices or wood rot. The eggs start white and turn a deep, vibrant pink/red just before hatching.
- Environment: They thrive in high-humidity enclosures with a deep, moist substrate (such as wood rot or bark) to hide and lay their eggs.
**This listing is for a starter culture of Thai spiky springtails. You will receive a 10+ count with a mix of sizes from juvenile to adult.
