I used to think that springtail cultures needed air - needed to be opened often, especially with yeast as a food source.
I feed my springtails powdered or raw mushrooms and dry baby cereal so I don't have to worry about yeast creating some kind of CO2 buildup.
I think another plus, is larger culture sizes - like sweater box size, as they tend to be more "stable" than the smaller deli cup cultures.
Overall...I just do not think the containers ever have to have air holes punched or otherwise be opened much at all.
Thoughts ?
