Description
Armadillidium c.f. Pallasii “Croatian Giants” are a striking and robust species prized for their impressive size and textured appearance. Highly prolific breeders, they thrive in temperate to semi-arid conditions and have gained popularity as excellent feeder isopods, especially for bearded dragons. The name “Frontisotre” was originally used for this culture; however, this is a misapplied name that actually refers to an already-identified species, Armadillidium pallasii. The "c.f." in A. c.f. pallasii stands for “confer” (compare to), indicating he isopod is not definitively pallasii, but closely resembles it based on expert identification.
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.
