Teardrop (Curly) Isopods
Cylisticus convexus (Tear Drop or Curly) Isopods in Canada
Introducing Cylisticus convexus "Curly" - the charming and versatile curly woodlouse found worldwide! Just like Armadillidium species, "Curly" can curl into a protective ball. With a breeding speed comparable to pruinosus, they thrive in both dry and humid environments, making them an excellent option as feeders and vivarium cleaners.
Thriving in a range of environments, including tropical, temperate, and semi-arid, "Curly" woodlice coexist peacefully with sensitive reptiles and amphibians, as they mostly leave plants undisturbed and exhibit docile behavior.
Native to North America, Cylisticus convexus "Curly" are moderate vivarium-establishers, quickly taking on the role of vivarium janitors, ensuring a clean and healthy environment while providing a natural calcium boost. Their prolific breeding makes them ideal for bioactive terrariums or vivariums, and their affordability has made them a beloved choice as feeders and clean-up crew members.
Welcome these delightful woodlice into your vivarium and explore their world of fascinating behavior and valuable contributions to your terrarium's ecosystem. Get your Cylisticus convexus "Curly" isopods from Isopod Canada and enhance your vivarium experience today!
