Their soft exoskeletons make them easy to digest, and they are packed with essential nutrients for healthy growth and bone development.

 

  • Bioactive Powerhouse: A cornerstone of any successful bioactive setup, these isopods work in harmony with springtails to create a "cleanup crew" that cycles nutrients and improves soil health, leading to a more natural and stable environment for your pet.

  • Visually Striking: The subtle, powder white hue of these isopods adds a unique and beautiful touch to your terrarium floor, making them as enjoyable to watch as they are useful.

  • Reptile Deli Isopod & Springtail Food: A nutritious, all-in-one food mix that ensures your cleanup crew is healthy, happy, and multiplying rapidly. This supplement helps them thrive when there isn't enough decaying matter in the enclosure.

 

  • Reptile Deli Cork Bark & Leaf Litter: Essential for providing your isopods with shelter, moisture retention, and a natural food source. They love to hide and forage beneath these natural materials.


[Quick Care Guide]

  1. Housing: A small container (like a shoebox-sized plastic tub) with good ventilation works well. Use a bioactive substrate as a base.
  2. Substrate: A mix of coconut coir, compost, and sphagnum moss is ideal. Keep one side of the substrate moist and allow the other to be slightly drier.
  3. Temperature & Humidity: Maintain a temperature between 68-80°F (20-27°C). They are very tolerant but do best with a consistent moisture gradient.
  4. Food: Offer a varied diet of decaying leaf litter, soft rotting wood, and occasional supplements like Reptile Deli Isopod & Springtail Food, fresh vegetables (like carrots or zucchini), and calcium powder.
  5. Maintenance: Mist the moist side of the enclosure as needed to prevent it from drying out. Replenish food sources and leaf litter every few weeks. With proper care, your colony will flourish!
