Springtails + Snails for Bioactive Setups

Events

Pittsburgh PA

Description

I have several bioactive enclosures seeded with springtails and garden snails that are constantly breeding. The snails range in size from smaller than pinhead crickets to roughly nickel sized in diameter right now (though will get quarter/half dollar sized as adults). Just want to cull my population a bit and maybe help someone else seed their setup with beneficial critters. Everything is very healthy. The snails grow very fast, especially if they have an ample food source. Great for kids to watch or raise as a project. Feeding on greens, vegetables, clean up crew food, the plants in my enclosures, and they also have calcium available for their shells (I use eggshells and cuttle bone). The springtails are the temperate variety and like it warm-ish, humid, and slightly wet at all times. They'll eat mostly anything as well. I'm asking $10 per 5.5 ounce container full of dirt and as many springtails as I can find. I'll throw in some baby snails if you want for no extra charge, but if you want any of the bigger ones they're 3 for $5 (plus free babies you can raise yourself). You pick up in South Oakland, Pittsburgh. ***Photos of the snails are mine, but photos of springtails are representative as it's very hard to take clear pictures of something so small.
