Bilobella braunerae

Are springtails, small arthropods that usually live in the ground. Here is a maintenance sheet adapted to springtails:

• Environment :

  • Habitat: Bilobella braunerae are mainly found in forest soils rich in decaying organic matter. Recreate this environment by using a mix of potting soil and organic matter (like dead leaves or compost) in your terrarium.
  • Humidity: Springtails need high humidity to survive. Spray the substrate regularly with water to maintain constant humidity, but avoid water stagnation.

• Feed :

  • Organic Matter: Springtails feed primarily on decaying organic matter, such as dead leaves, plant debris, and bacteria. Be sure to provide enough organic matter in the terrarium for their diet.

• Temperature :

  • Temperature Range: Bilobella braunerae prefer moderate temperatures. Maintain a temperature range between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius in the terrarium.

• Light :

  • Lighting: Springtails do not need bright lighting, as they generally prefer dark environments. Normal ambient light from natural or artificial sources is sufficient.

• Handling :

  • Springtails are small, fragile creatures. It is better not to handle them directly, as this could hurt them. Let them live and move freely in the terrarium.

It should be noted that springtails are delicate creatures and sensitive to their environment. It is important to maintain an appropriate balance of humidity, temperature and food to ensure good health and successful breeding. By following these maintenance guidelines, you will be able to create an environment for Bilobella braunerae to survive and thrive.
