Armadillidium vulgare “gem mix”

Armadillidium isopods are a great addition to a humid terrarium. “Gem mix” isn’t the name of a specific variety, but a mix of varieties! These include a variety of colors including white, yellow, orange, and grey. Isopods are substrate cleaners and the adults and nymphs are suitable as feeders. This is a beautiful, hardy species that breeds quickly. They appreciate dried leaves and wood to eat as well as vegetables such as carrots or potatoes. Take care to keep the substrate moist because isopods will die quickly if their substrate dries out!

Note: I keep this species with temperate springtails, so there’s a small chance you’ll get a few of this cleaner too — don’t be alarmed! They’re perfectly harmless 🙂
