Armadillidium Granulatum "Spanish Giant Yellow Spot" establish moderately quickly in a vivarium, and will act as janitors to keep the vivarium clean, as well as a snack that provides a natural calcium boost. They are native to Spain. These Isopods have yellow spots on their backs of varying intensity. They are quite large as adults, but the younger ones are palatable and are eaten by amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles. Larger amphibians and reptiles will consume adults as well, but not poison dart frogs. Our isopods are fed are custom Iso-licious Isopod Food 1-2x a week, including our new wet mixes, supplemented with squash, carrots, isopod food, and cuttlebone. These isopods enjoy warm temperatures and an occasional misting, but do not do as well in an extremely wet environment. We allow space for a moderate moisture gradient, starting with one side of the enclosure having wet sphagnum moss, the middle being moist and mostly covered with leaf litter and bark, and onto the opposite side being completely dry and covered only with leaf litter. This will promote healthy exoskeleton growth.
