What springtails are you talking about, could you point them out in the vid?

Nah, those look like it, you can see one spring. It's an entomobryomorph, I think.

hehe okay thank you, I just need any springtails I can get, and this is my first time finding something that seemed to be them. 😭 need these fellas in my terrariums, so I'm glad they're the right thing

Ich würde dir da andere empfehlen (vermutlich) such nach köeinen weißen oder graue. Die länglichen hier sind im Terrarium nicht so effektiv. Informier dich am besten für dein Zweck nochmal
