Description

Caret Down

Venezillo Parvus are small roly-poly isopods, and they have become one of our favorite isopods for humid/tropical environments.  They are excellent for bioactive vivariums because they stay under the substrate working most of the time.  Venezillo Parvus like leaf litter and small pieces of vegetable scraps such as zucchini.  Keep the same as other common isopods.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care info and tips.

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:  Requires humid environments

Breeding:  Moderate breeder that breeds easily once established
