Japanese Magic Potion isopods are a highly favored ornamental species. While they do great as bioactive tank mates, many people collect this variety and many others for fun. They are different from American Magic Potions in their smaller size and faster breeding.
Armadillidium vulgare isopods do best in a moderately dry enclosure, with a nice wet area or two to retreat to for shedding their exoskeleton, and to aid in breathing. A. vulgare may eat certain species of plants in terrariums if they do not get enough food otherwise, which can be prevented by providing dead leaf litter.
For live arrival guarantee in temperatures exceeding 95F or below 40F, a heat or cool pack must be added. If temperatures are at or below 32F or at or above 100F, live animal shipments of all kinds will be held until weather permits safe shipment. Live animal shipments only go out Monday-Wednesday.
