Description

Armadillidium gestroi is a stunning and sought-after isopod prized for its large size and vibrant yellow spots. Its bold appearance and active nature make it a captivating addition to any collection. With a slightly drier habitat preference and fascinating territorial behaviors, this species thrives as cleanup crew or as a visually appealing colony.

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 Contiguous US, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.

Q-tips-an all around great thing to have
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 2)
Q-tip brand Q-tips are very soft, thick, easy to use and a good value for the money. I use them with my business as a skin care professional. They’re extremely versatile.The smaller size is perfect for skin care of the eye, or ears for example. At home, I use them to clean my jewelry, to apply makeup, plus several other uses. They are gentle, strong and safe.

Slider box makes me SOOO happy!
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 2), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 2)
I have not been able to find Q-Tips in the Slider box for several years! My old box I have been reusing was ready to be replaced. You may not think it's a big deal, but when you have limited options in the bathroom and they need to stand up on the side this is the perfect box. In fact, just about every bathroom I have had required me to stand up the box. Everyone knows how great Q-Tips themselves are so that’s why I focused on my delight that I found the slider box again! And as a bonus it is cheaper than buying locally!!
