🎨 Colour: Red-orange body with distinctive white bands
⏳ Life Span: Can live for several years with proper care; exact lifespan data for this morph is limited.

🏡 Terrarium Setup:

Create a natural enclosure with plenty of hiding places and a deep, moisture-retentive substrate.

Recommended materials include:

🍂 Decomposing leaf litter
🪵 Rotting hardwood and cork bark
🌱 Organic, chemical-free soil
🌿 Sphagnum moss to help retain moisture
🦴 A calcium source, such as cuttlebone or limestone

⛏️ Substrate: Aim for at least 3–4 inches, with deeper substrate beneficial for burrowing and maintaining moisture.

🌡️ Temperature: Approximately 21–26°C (70–78°F). Avoid sustained high temperatures and sudden fluctuations.

💧 Humidity: Maintain a consistently humid environment, with a moist area and a slightly drier refuge. Good ventilation is important to prevent stagnant, waterlogged conditions.

🥕 Diet:

These isopods are detritivores, feeding primarily on decomposing plant matter.

Their diet can include:

🍂 Quality leaf litter
🪵 Decaying hardwood
🥕 Small amounts of vegetables
🐟 Occasional protein, such as fish flakes or shrimp pellets
🦴 A constant source of calcium

⭐ Difficulty: Intermediate. They need stable moisture, suitable ventilation and a well-established enclosure.

💕 Reproduction: Moderate to steady once established, depending on colony size and environmental conditions.

🧡🐼 Why we love them: Their vibrant red-orange colouring and bright white markings make these little beauties a gorgeous addition to any designer isopod collection!
