Description

Armadillidium gestroi is a stunning and sought-after isopod prized for its large size and vibrant yellow spots. Its bold appearance and active nature make it a captivating addition to any collection. With a slightly drier habitat preference and fascinating territorial behaviors, this species thrives as cleanup crew or as a visually appealing colony.

Master Culture

For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.

*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended

*This animal can only be shipped to the Contiguous US, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.

Dog likes some
Size: Extra Small, Color: Blue
Puppy will chew on this but not favorite. Over time it gets sharp pieces and dog could ingest. Not sure how safe for a small dog. Affordable but not long lasting.
