Bring eye-catching patterns into your substrate with Zebra Isopods! Featuring crisp, alternating black and white vertical stripes, this classic Mediterranean species brings both beauty and functionality to your bioactive clean up crew. As members of the Armadillidium genus, these “roly-polies” curl up into a perfect ball when startled.
Zebra Isopods are moderate reproducers that love congregating under cork bark, decaying hardwood, and leaf litter. They thrive best in semi-humid habitats with plenty of ventilation, serving as an effective clean up crew for crested geckos, gargoyle geckos, and temperate display terrariums.
