Description

Armadillidium klugii “Dubrovnik” is a vibrant, highly desirable variant of the classic Clown isopod. This locale is prized for its enhanced red coloration and striking white spotting. Hardy and eye-catching, they make a stunning display isopod. Native to the rocky, warm regions of Croatia, these isopods appreciate drier conditions with pockets of humidity and are perfect for adding a pop of color to any enclosure. Their bold patterns and calmer temperament make them favorites of collectors!

Master Culture

For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.

*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended.

*This animal can only be shipped to the US Contiguous, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.
