Description

Caret Down

These are some of our favorite isopods.  A must for any collection.  Very colorful roly-poly morph.  They come in a rainbow of colors - tan, orange, black, yellow.  Slower breeders but easy to keep.  We provide cuttlebone and supplemental feed our St. Lucia carrots, squash, zucchini, and dried fish, dried shrimp, and fish food flakes.  A. vulgare work well in terrariums due to their slower reproduction.  Leaves are extremely important for all isopods.  We keep vulgare isopods the same as all other common isopods.  Please see our blog posts and YouTube channel for common isopod care guides.

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.

Skill level:  Beginner isopod

Humidity:  Prefers humid environments

Breeding:  Slower breeder that breeds easily

Amazing! Nothing short of amazing! My order arrived on time and was packaged EXTREMELY well. There was a "live guarantee" for my St. Lucia's, but I knew I didn't even have to worry about it based on my previous order. This is my very first time ordering/having/caring for any bugs/insects. I put them in my terrarium (also very first time building/having one of those) along with some silver springtails that I ordered from iheartbugs. The St. Lucia isopods (and springtails) are doing great. They are very active, and are getting along beautifully with my Magic Potion (American) isopods. I received an assortment of peachy/amber and black/brown/earthy toned St. Lucias, all in different sizes. Some are small others are quite large. I also think I was sent more than 10. All of them were alive on arrival. I even had some questions (since I'm a first time terrarium and isopod owner) and Sara responded every single question I had about keeping them. Highly recommend this shop!!!!
