Which ones should I choose?
What's the difference?
It's for my pygmy chams, but I know you guys better and TRUST YA.

That's a good idea. There's a copse about a 5 minute walk up the road from me, might give it a look.Both!
You'll probably find that a very small species of white springtails appear in your woodlice cultures anyway
If you wanted larger (european usually silver) springtails you could always pop by the woods and find some bits of bark on the surface of the substrate, ought to be one or two about!
Oh man. Don't say that!I use both for my pygmy chams viv - I suppose they also do have slightly different functions as a clean up crew......and they provide a bit more 'life' as my pygmys don't do much at all lol.
like what? and where do u get this leafmould?If you mix 'live' leafmould into your substrate, you'll have both anyway, plus lots of other interesting stuff:whistling2:
Just disintegrating leaves?Leaf mould like you would find under a tree or a compost heap...anywhere like that....just make sure there are no fertilizers or insecticides and that the trees are safe....safe trees like fruit trees.
These are great additions to any viv as long as the viv have temperate temps.
You can be an avid botanist and not use chems...:whistling2:I wish my garden had lots of juicy insects for me to harvest for free...but as I am a avid botanist and keep a huge selection of Bonsai, Orchids, Fungi and Fruit trees in my garden....its kinda got lots of chemicals in there as well........hmmmm what to do.
How do I make sure of that?As Ron says - just grab a load of leaves and place them into your viv as the temps for Pygmy Chams is pretty temperate.....well mine is lol.
Just make sure there are no un-desirables in there that may attack your Chams.
