Hi all,

so I read Crystal's guide on how to raise silverfish, and how they like to concentrate poisons ect. Where can I find silverfish? I'm thinking the forest, with the damp logs and rocks. I need to find same species couples to mate. Also, how can I make sure none of the accumulated poisons reach the offspring?

Thanks.

I would go for it. Don't really know what wouldn't live in the forest.

I once found a silverfish in a container of index cards. Check old books if you have any.

I think I may have seen some a few times in the past. I probably mistook them for springtails.
