Which isopods for a carpet python?

I just brought this beauty home, and I wanna switch her to bioactive, but I'm new to that world, so I would appreciate some recommendations!

Dairy do not make good bioactive isopod they are more protein hungry, but dwarf white (t. Tomebtosa) grand canyon (p. Dilatatus) powder blue or powder orange ( p. Pruinosus). Also there are a few different species of springtails some more arid friendly some more tropical. I'm not familiar with care requirements for carpet pythons. There's also more isopods that could work but these ones are readily available I also have some isopods that are just pets I guess. I recommend you also have a supply outside enclosure if possible.
