Armadillidium depressum "Magic Potion" for sale in Canada

Welcome to Isopod Canada, your ultimate source for the exquisite 'Armadillidium depressum "Magic Potion". Armadillidium depressum "Magic Potion" is a rare color morph that infrequently occurs in nature. This unique pattern gives these Armadillidium isopods a striking appearance, featuring beautiful yellow markings on a semi-transparent base. Compared to a similar isopod species, Armadillidium vulgare 'Magic Potion,' Armadillidium depressum is slightly larger, with adults reaching a length of approximately 20 mm.

These isopods are most active during the early morning and nighttime hours. To create an ideal terrarium habitat for them, maintain about one-third of the enclosure's substrate as moist, which can be achieved with moss and decaying white wood pieces beneath a layer of decaying leaves.

Temperature-wise, keep the habitat within the range of 15 to 26°C (59 to 78.8°F), and maintain humidity levels between 55% and 75%. Their diet should include a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, greens, fish food, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, and the molting of invertebrates and reptiles. Additionally, provide a protein source twice a week, and consider using specialized protein mix foods. Don't forget to offer a calcium source like cuttlefish bone, limestone, or oyster seashell to ensure their health.

Armadillidium depressum "Magic Potion" is considered an easy species to care for. While their reproduction rate may start slow, an established colony tends to have a stable population. Their lifespan is approximately 3 years, and they have a relatively slow growth rate.
