**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. "Vietnam" are known for their bright red color, chubby bodies, 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.
