Armadillidium 'Punta Cana' High Expression
Armadillidium 'Punta Cana' High Expression is a visually stunning isopod species known for its vibrant coloration and unique patterns. This high-expression variant boasts striking hues and bold contrasts, making it a standout addition to any bioactive vivarium. Native to tropical environments, 'Punta Cana' adds both beauty and ecological value by contributing to the breakdown of organic matter, which helps maintain a healthy and balanced habitat.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Armadillidium 'Punta Cana' High Expression prefers low to moderate light conditions. Recreate their natural habitat with a shaded or dimly lit environment to prevent stress and dehydration. Avoid direct, intense light.
Moisture & Humidity:
Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 70-85%. Ensure the substrate is consistently moist but well-draining to prevent waterlogging. Regular misting and providing areas with varying moisture levels will help the isopods regulate their hydration needs effectively.
Temperature Requirement:
Optimal temperatures for this species range from 68-78°F (20-26°C). Keep temperatures above 60°F (16°C) to ensure the isopods remain active and healthy.
Feeding:
Armadillidium 'Punta Cana' High Expression feeds on decaying plant matter, such as leaf litter and rotting wood. Supplement their diet with calcium sources like cuttlebone to support healthy exoskeleton development and overall vitality.
