About Me

My journey with slime began with a tiny niche hobby I picked up about five years ago.

I have always been an aquatics person. I’ve kept aquariums for fish, plants, and aquatic invertebrates for over eight years. Slime was my entry into the terrestrial hobby, something small and niche that I enjoyed in my free time. I used to keep slime cultures in my desk drawers at school. Later, when 3D printers became popular, my friends and I would print mazes for slime to solve. It was all small, silly fun at the time.

I combined my existing knowledge with new things I learned from Ben, a very knowledgeable slime enthusiast whom I’m grateful to have connected with. Through this, I developed my own system for keeping and drying slime cultures. As I explored the terrestrial hobby further, I discovered all the adorable chubby slime eaters out there, which opened up an entirely new world for me.

I’m grateful to everyone who supported me along the way, and especially thankful to Kim from Isorare pods who helped open the door to the terrestrial community for me. I’ll continue sharing my slime adventures on my page and website, and offering high-quality slime for those interested in feeding their critters or simply admiring these fascinating organisms.

About Slime Works Collective

Welcome to Slime Works Collective, one of the original pioneers in culturing and educating people on slime mould within this hobby, specifically for feeding critters such as springtails, isopods, millipedes, and more. I am by no means a biologist or academic expert, but rather just a slime nerd, enthusiast, and hobbyist with years of hands-on experience culturing slime mould. Everything I share comes from genuine passion, personal experimentation, trial and error, and countless hours spent observing and working with slime in real home settings.

Around October 2025, I started receiving requests for help with slime cultures as slime-eating springtails began entering the hobby. At the time, the few main sources of slime mould were unreliable, with sclerotia (dry slime) that were often unviable. Combined with the lack of extensive care guides specifically tailored for culturing slime in typical home settings (most info about slime keeping was catered to lab settings), many people, including some of the most experienced keepers in the hobby, struggled to get slime going successfully.

Some of the first people and businesses I had the honour of working with on slime include Isorare pods , Isopod Source, The Rollie Pollie Posse, MI Beneficial Insects, Hilltop Worm Farm & Exotics LLC, Wynter's Wyld Wonderland, Isopodyssey, Boogie Down Bugs, Roach Ranch Reptile Supplies, and many more pages and individuals, totalling over 40 people, many of whom were complete beginners. I created a group chat where I spent an average of 1–2 hours daily after my 9 to 5 job solely helping people get their slime cultures going for free, in hopes that some would walk away with both the knowledge and passion to help others learn about slime mould. I am happy to say that many of them became successful with slime, which in turn led to even more success with their critters.

As a more active member of this community now, I am honoured to continue sharing my knowledge and passion for slime mould with others, while supporting hobbyists and keepers with their slime-eating critters.
