Puerto Rican Spikeys

Puerto Rican Spikey Isopods (Ctenorillo sp. “Boquerón”)

Puerto Rican Spikey Isopods are a small, rare species with a beautiful purplish coloration and bumpy, spiked texture. As one of the newest spiky species in the hobby, they are highly sought after for their unique appearance and specialized care needs. Native to Puerto Rico, these isopods thrive in medium to high humidity environments but require dedicated care, making them better suited as pets rather than for bioactive setups.
