T+ Albino Isopods Care Guide
Habitat Setup:
Use a spacious and well-ventilated enclosure, such as a glass terrarium or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
Provide a substrate that retains moisture, such as coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, or a mix of organic materials.
Include hiding spots like cork bark, pieces of wood, or leaf litter to create a natural environment.
Temperature and Humidity:
Maintain a temperature range between 20°C and 25°C (68°F - 77°F), which is suitable for most isopod species.
Ensure a humidity level of around 70% to 80%. Mist the enclosure periodically to maintain humidity, but avoid excessive moisture to prevent mold growth.
Feeding:
T+ Albino Isopods are scavengers that thrive on decaying plant matter. Provide a varied diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, leaf litter, and rotting wood.
Supplement their diet with commercial isopod food or fish flakes to ensure they receive proper nutrition.
Lighting:
Isopods are primarily nocturnal and do not require specific lighting. However, ambient room lighting or a low-wattage bulb can help maintain a day-night cycle.
Maintenance:
Regularly check the enclosure for mold, excessive moisture, or any other signs of decay. Remove any spoiled food promptly.
Keep the enclosure clean by spot-cleaning any waste or uneaten food. Avoid using chemical cleaners that could harm the isopods.
Population and Compatibility:
T+ Albino Isopods are social creatures and can be kept in colonies. Ensure adequate space and hiding spots to minimize territorial conflicts.
They are generally peaceful and can coexist with other small, non-aggressive invertebrates, such as springtails or millipedes.
