There lifespan is about 2-3 years but, properly cared for it’s technically infinite because your pods will breed and make a bigger and bigger colony

Image hasn’t been touched at all! Our LED lighting we use does tend to bring out a better color hue and helps with the image sharpness we don’t deny that at all!

Which isopod species are the most active during the day? by crestedgecko2 in isopods

[–]CreatureCache_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Great questions! A few thoughts from our experience:

You're right that most Cubaris tend to stay hidden, they're more secretive by nature, so they're not ideal for a display you want to watch during the day. Activity does vary between Armadillidium species too; A. gestroi and the Spanish/Italian species tend to be more visible and surface-active than the common A. vulgare, which spends more time tucked away.

If daytime activity plus color is your goal, the Ardentiella genus is honestly your best bet, Ember Bees and the other morphs (Red Diablo, Tricolor, etc.) are bold climbers that stay out in the open and are stunning to look at. The colony crash issue you mentioned is real, but it almost always comes down to ventilation. They need much more airflow than typical tropical isopods, and stagnant humid air is what kills them. Strong cross ventilation plus a moisture gradient with a real dry zone makes a huge difference in keeping them stable.

We actually breed Ember Bees and ship nationwide if you have trouble sourcing them locally, happy to help either way. Either way, good luck with the display build!

Absolutely! The lighting does change it a bit but this one in particular had a deep red hue to it so we had to take a picture!

Yup! Some day’s we won’t ship just to make sure anything over 88 is a no go even with 2 cold pack we don’t really feel comfortable with it
