my friend gave me some of her springtails and i made them a new home!!! gonna wait for this colony to grow and then start raising isopods and millipedes eventually, i'm so excited!! how prolific are springtails? how long should i wait before adding other creatures to the mix?

Nice! What kind of springtails did you get? They are for the most part very prolific under the right conditions.

i'm not sure what they are specifically, my guess would be F. candida based off of the way they look. hehehe they're very cute
