Great supplemental food for dart frogs or other animals that need tiny live food.Seeds up to 4 terrariums or vivariums. Easily feed the culture to produce more.Springtails take care of mold/fungus in terrarium - they make an extra clean up crew for bioactive enclosuresQuick to reproduce and easy to culture, springtails are the perfect 'grow at home' microfeederLIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED in temperatures from 0F to 85F!
Hmm. Any specific terrariums you want an estimate on or the entire thing?
Edit: Nevermind. I'll just give you a rundown of what I bought. Don't be scared off by the price, just start small. I recommend the Super Mix Moss from Appalachian Emporium to start you off, some cheap pot soil at home depot, mesh for the filter, pebbles/driftwood from outside and glassware at a thriftshop or wherever. Though I think getting springtails might be a must to keep the habitat clean from mold and such. Overall, it should cost you no more than $30-40 depending on what you get. I just happened to go overboard these past two months :)

That's a question I've been trying to answer for myself, as I mentioned in the video it's pretty cold up here so they're few and far between at the moment.
​
There are a few options on amazon, but they're a little pricey. There's a reptile show that is taking place next weekend not far from me that I'm going to visit in hopes of getting some there. If I don't find any I guess I'll have to settle on Amazon shipping :/
I started breeding a culture. I bought them from Josh's frogs (via Amazon) for 20 bucks.
