Armadillidium gestroi Isopods , also known as yellow spotted isopods, originate from the shores of France near limestone, sandstone, and granite. They thrive on vegetables, dried leaves, grasses, and decaying matter. This striking roly poly rolls up into a ball when disturbed or threatened.
  

These are large isopods that are slower growing. They can take a little longer to establish than other species. However they have fairly large broods and once established are extremely rewarding. Great pet species for someone looking for a colorful addition to their terrarium. A gestroi can often exhibit a range of colors from neon yellow to pumpkin orange.

Armadillidium gestroi

Difficulty: Intermediate

Size: .79 inches.

Housing: Plastic storage bin or glass terrarium

Food Preferences: freeze dried shrimp, fish flakes, vegetables, dried leaves, wood, grasses, and decaying matter, Reptanicals Isopod Feast

Temp Requirements: approx. 70 Degrees to 85 Degrees. Extreme cold and heat can be lethal

Breeding: Easy - with proper care sub-adults will begin to breed before reaching full size, but this slower growing species can take a few months to really establish themselves.

Substrate: Coconut coir, peat moss, or Reptanicals Bug Bedding covered with leaf litter (we use oak leaves).

Humidity: medium humidity, mist one side of enclosure to create a moisture gradient, keep sphagnum and/or pillow moss on the moist side of enclosure to help maintain humidity (we use a mixture of both)

Supplements: Reptanicals Oyster Shell for calcium, or Reptanicals 5-in-1 Calcium Supplement: a great mix of natural calcium sources for isopods (especially exotic species), all derived from the same calcium sources they would encounter in the wild such as limestone, granite and coral. Reptanicals Shredded Shrimp, a tasty treat to offer for additional protein.

Hides: Cork bark, lotus pods, coconut halves and egg carton all make excellent hides for the isopods. Adding multiple hides to your enclosure offers ample room for juveniles and adults, and also provides your isopods a more enriching environment.

Enrichment: offer various types of mosses (pillow, sheet) to serve as both snacks and hiding spaces, hides (like those above) and climbing areas. If possible, provide items that vary in texture and break down at different rates.

Panda King Isopods (Cubaris sp), just like their popular cousins the Rubber Ducky, are from the caves of Vietnam. These humid loving species do great in terrariums outfitted with pillow moss. Their striking black and white bands, coupled with the adorable spots on their heads are what gave the little cuties their moniker.

Isopods are gaining popularity in the reptile industry for a number of very good reasons. They are natures' janitorial crews! Add them to your home enclosure to create a Bio-Active ecosystem like nature intended. Isopods reduce mold, feces, decaying matter, and improve substrate health! All while providing a calcium rich, nutritious snack for your critters to enjoy any time they wish.

  Why do we ship juveniles and not adult isopods? By shipping juveniles (not tiny mancae) of breeding age, it ensures that our customers receive the entire breeding life of the isopods. Elder adult isopods often produce smaller broods, or have stopped breeding entirely. They also have an indeterminate lifespan as there is no way to gauge exactly how old they are, and may perish shortly after arrival due to the stresses of shipping, or old age. By shipping juveniles, we can guarantee our customers a full lifespan and lots of future isopod generations!

Enclosure larger than 10 gallons? If you're looking to breed these isopods outside of a vivarium, we'd recommend keeping them in one of our Reptanicals Isopod Breeder Kit for easy care and to ensure the health of your isopods. Our kits come complete with Bug Bedding substrate, leaf litter, a lotus pod hide, calcium, moss, and a sample of our Isopod Feast - everything you need to culture with success!

    

Our Isopods are fed a mix of organic vegetables and mushrooms twice weekly in addition to our own Reptanicals Isopod Feast. They are kept on Reptanicals Bug Bedding, sprinkled with leaf litter. We include moist sphagnum moss to help maintain humidity, provide cuttlebone for calcium and cork hides for enrichment.

Reptanicals Isopod Feast : Complete diet for isopods

Don't forget to pick up our Reptanicals Isopod Feast, a great nutritionally complete diet. Use it in addition to fresh food, such as vegetables like carrots. Developed by biologists, our premium protein packed blend of vitamins, minerals and nutrients make the perfect gut-loading cuisine isopods can't get enough of!
