Description
Armadillidium vulgare ‘Orange Vigor’ is a striking morph of the common pill bug, selectively bred in the U.S. for its rich orange-to-red hue. This coloration is enhanced by the yellow and gold flecking inherited from wild types, making it a favorite for display enclosures. Like other A. vulgare, it’s hardy, adaptable, and moderately active. Perfect for both bioactive terrariums.
Master Culture
For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.
*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended.
*This animal can only be shipped to the Contiguous US, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.
