Description

St. Lucia Isopods (Armadillidium vulgare "St. Lucia") are some of our absolute favorite isopods and a must-have for any collection. These stunning roly-poly isopods come in a rainbow of colors — tan, orange, black, and yellow — making them as beautiful as they are functional. Slower breeders but easy to keep, St. Lucias are an excellent choice for terrariums where controlled reproduction is preferred. They work particularly well in terrariums due to their slower reproduction rate.

Best for: Bioactive terrariums, isopod collections, reptile and amphibian enclosures, keepers who prefer slower-reproducing species

We provide cuttlebone and supplemental feed our St. Lucia isopods carrots, squash, zucchini, dried fish, dried shrimp, and fish food flakes. Leaves are extremely important for all isopods. For care guides, visit our blog and YouTube channel.

Why IHEARTBUGS? We are a USDA and FDACS permitted facility with over a decade of experience raising healthy, thriving isopod colonies.

Sold as 10 isopods.

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.
