Isopods and springtails

[Cameronjb]

I'm researching bioactive enclosures and I was wondering are isopods and springtails ok to put in the substrate for a chameleons?

Yes they are!

They sure are- they're necessary for a bioactive enclosure. Just go for smaller isopods, like dwarf whites & purples. I threw in some dairy cows for fun and they ended up being an expensive snack lol

What about springtails?

I have springtails and various woodlice (roly polys) in my enclosure

Definitely, I had both and they did their jobs well.

The smaller isopods don't do that well of a job for large waste. Giant canyons are prolific enough that even if eaten, there are usually plenty more hiding.

I have 2 veiled's and 2 panthers all of them are basically full grown do u think I'd need the bigger isopods for that?
