Just set up a vivarium 2 weeks ago. Substrate, mulch and moss straight from the pet store for reptiles, added plants (washed thoroughly - or at least what I thought was thoroughly), cork tube, branches, etc and then two cresteds. Now I find that I have a pretty healthy population of springrails thriving on the buried branches. Are springtails a problem for cresteds? The reptile house that I got the cresteds from locally want me to dump the vivarium planting layer, mulch and moss and start over, is that the only way to go? Will I not be reintroducing these little springtails if I add another plant(s) to the vivarium? As it turns out from what I have read on the net about these springtails, cresteds' habitat provides the perfect conditions for insects.
Thanks in advance for your help.
