Armadillidium "Orange Werneri"
Armadillidium 'Orange Werneri' is a vibrant isopod species celebrated for its striking orange coloration. This eye-catching isopod, native to limestone-rich environments, features bright orange hues that stand out in any bioactive vivarium. Known for its role in decomposing organic matter, 'Orange Werneri' helps maintain soil health and contributes to a thriving ecosystem.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Armadillidium 'Orange Werneri' thrives in low to moderate light conditions. Mimic their natural habitat with shaded or dimly lit environments to avoid stress and dehydration. Direct, intense light should be avoided.
Moisture & Humidity:
Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 70-85%. Keep the substrate consistently moist but well-draining to prevent waterlogging. Regular misting and providing areas with varying moisture levels will help the isopods manage their hydration needs effectively.
Temperature Requirement:
Optimal temperatures for this species range from 68-78°F (20-26°C). Ensure temperatures do not fall below 60°F (16°C) to keep the isopods active and healthy.
Feeding:
Armadillidium 'Orange Werneri' feeds on decaying plant matter, such as leaf litter and rotting wood. Provide calcium sources like cuttlebone to support healthy exoskeleton development and overall well-being.
