Philoscia sp. "Thai" Isopods
$15.99 -
$119.99
A fast mover from Thailand. Philoscia sp. Thai isopods are quick, active runners rather than rollers, darting across the substrate instead of curling into a ball when disturbed. It's a fun contrast if the rest of your collection is made up of slower Armadillidium or Cubaris species.
Keep them consistently moist with light calcium available, comfortable around 72 to 82F and 75 to 95% humidity. As a tropical species from Thailand, they appreciate a warm, humid enclosure with plenty of leaf litter to dart through.
- Fast, active runner rather than a roller
- Tropical species suited to warm, humid setups
- Adds visible movement and behavior variety
- A fun intermediate step beyond beginner species
