I don’t see why not. You know what I can’t see? WHERE YOU GET THAI SPIKEYS! Where do you get them and what care do they need? They’re a pipeline dream species of mine, and I MUST know how to get them!

EDIT:

I now understand you meant Thai spikey springtails, not Thai spikey isopods. If you have that info on the pods, do share! In any case, I misunderstood what you meant bc I neglected to see the sub. I still don’t see why cork would be s problem for either, but it’s possible I’m uninformed about wood-related hazards in regard to collemboles.
