These are named because they are such a large sized isopod. They will grow to 21mm as long as a nickel! They are adaptable to cooler temps as long as the transition occurs slowly.
We ship you 10 Giant Canyon isopods in a container with moist paper on the journey to you.
They are great occasional snack for small frogs, salamanders, and other small reptiles
The culture can be used to seed a new tank to raise your own, or to add to a vivarium to eat detritus.
Consider adding on Repashy Morning Wood as an all-in-one food and water source for them.
Isopod Care
Isopods should be kept in a dark area at room temperature. They LOVE to burrow, so give them lots of slightly moist substrate at 2 to 3 inches deep.
Leaf litter can be used not only to top their bedding, but they will also enjoy eating it. Cork bark can be placed on top as a hiding place and for easy removal of the isopods.
Lightly mist them at each feeding to keep their enclosure humid.
