Shiny Gator Isopods (Isopoda sp.)

Shiny Gator Isopods are a medium-sized dwarf species originating from Thailand, known for their raised nub-like spikes and dark coloration with dark-tipped antennae. These isopods are active and unafraid to move freely, though they will roll up when disturbed. With a moderate reproduction rate, they require specific care and are better suited as pets rather than for bioactive setups.

Care Information

  • Requires a high humidity environment
  • Should be watered and fed once a week
  • Diet includes yams, root vegetables, mango, carrots, and high-calcium dry food
  • Best housed in a damp substrate with flat bark, leaf litter, and limestone rock to improve reproduction
  • Prefers temperatures between 70°F-80°F (21°C-26°C)
  • Care should be observed when checking the habitat, as mancae may be hidden in the substrate

The package arrived late and I almost thought the package was lost at some stage but arrived the next day since it was delayed. They make clear when they are shipped. At that point it is on the carrier.

They arrived in a well packaged foam box in a cardboard box with an icepack. The package was stuffed with paper but the deli cup was small since the isopods were also super small, which was nice. All of this to keep the temperature somewhat controlled. I could not fully count for 10 isopods, as that was what I paid for, but I understand it is difficult to count them in the sphagnum moss when they are so tiny.

It's been a little over a week since I received them and they're still doing great. I just wish there was an easier way to confirm their amount when they're so small. They were on sale when I purchased but still worth all the wait!

Overall I enjoyed my purchase and will purchase from them again. I just wanted to give an honest review and all my experience was.
