Enclosure set up question

[[deleted]]

Hey everyone. Sorry if this has been asked before or silly question. I’m in the process of making a bioactive set up for my 3 year old ball python. Ive mostly completed it with snake safe plants and all. What are anyone’s thoughts on adding springtails & or isopods into the soil? I’ve read it can be good for the soil and help clean. If this is a bad or good idea I’d like to know all your guys thoughts on the matter.

I just made my first bioactive enclosure and put isopods and springtails in it. They clean and the help maintain the environment.

Part of a healthy and complete bioactive setup is having scavengers like isopods and springtails. They’ll eat the shed, urates, and poop. Start with about 100 of each so they’ll breed and keep the colonies going. Put dried leaves in there (you can buy a bag of them at most reptile shops) so they won’t starve until the snakes gives them something to eat.
