Dwarf White isopods are best suited for sub-tropical and tropical terraria where moisture levels are high. They reproduce exceedingly quickly and are known among isopod keepers for their ability to infiltrate other cultures. To prevent this if culturing isopods separately, simply keep them below all other cultures.

At least 50% of their enclosure must be moist. They highly enjoy protein, and may eat soft-shelled eggs in their enclosures if not given enough. They are also excellent micro-feeders for a variety of small animals.

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.
