Lava isopods are a great addition to a humid terrarium. This species varies in its grey/orange coloration and produces individuals with various amounts of spotting. Isopods are substrate cleaners and the adults and nymphs are suitable as supplementary feeders. They appreciate dried leaves and wood to eat as well as vegetables such as carrots or potatoes. Take care to keep the substrate moist because isopods will die quickly if their substrate dries out!Note: We keep this species with temperate springtails, so there’s a small chance you’ll get a few of this cleaner too — don’t be alarmed!
