Culture of Armadillidium Vulgare “Japanes Magic Potion” isopods. These cultures come with a minimum of 10 isopods of varying ages. Once these are established they reproduce very well. They prefer moderate humidity and are native to Japan. They have unique dots of yellows and blacks and a great beginner species.
Isopods will need an enclosure with a soil based substrate mixed with decaying wood, sphagnum moss, leaf litter and calcium chunks or eggshells. One side of the enclosure should stay pretty damp by placing about ¼ of the enclosure with sphagnum moss that you will need to mist regularly to help them regulate and breath. The other side should be drier to create the microclimates they want to live in.
They primarily eat decaying leaves and woot rot. I typically use magnolia, maple, and oak leaves but will use others as well. In addition I feed all my isopods Repashy Morning Wood supplement, fish flakes, freeze dried minnows, freeze dried peas, cuttlebone, oyster shell, veggies such as carrots and zucchini. A balanced and diverse diet is always helpful!
