Dwarf white isopods are small isopods that are a great clean-up crew in bioactive vivariums, and they are also an additional food source for reptiles and amphibians.  Reproduces quickly.  Dwarf white isopods are parthenogenic, and they can tolerate humid and semi-arid environments.  They spend most of their time in the soil.  The care for dwarf isopods is the same for common isopods.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care guides and tips.  NOTE:  They play dead quite often.  When you receive them, they may look DOA, but give them a few hours to acclimate, and you will see they have moved.  

Also available are dwarf whites in a 100 count cup, but there may be other isopods such as pruinosus babies in the container, which do not count towards the 100 count dwarf whites.  We have bins that house both pruinosus and dwarf whites which we use for our bioactive vivariums, and when we have an abundance of dwarf whites in our bins, we offer them discounted, with the caveat that there is a possibility there may be some pruinosus babies in the cup.  This product is perfect for a bioactive snake enclosure, bioactive leopard gecko tank, bioactive crested gecko tank, bioactive gecko tank, frog tank, bioactive ball python enclosure, bioactive bearded dragon enclosure, etc.  This option is not recommended if you are trying to start a pure master culture of dwarf white isopods since there is a possibility other species of docile isopods may be included in the cup.
