Merulanella sp. ‘Tricolor’, isopod care
Common name: Tricolor Merulanella.
Size: adults may reach a length of 20 mm.
Activity: both day and night active. It’s a quite active isopod.
Substrate: check out our premium substrate. The medium in the enclosure needs to be moist but not too much, as Merulanella isopods require high air moisture but not too wet soil.
Terrarium: needs to be escape-proof, since Merulanella isopods – especially the young and mancae can climb vertically on plastic, like most roaches. And especially the mancae can squeeze through a loose lid and escape. I keep them wetter – like the Cubaris isopods – with a layered setup of decaying leaves, moss, pieces of twigs with lichen and on top cork bark or tree bark. Check out also our premium substrate.
Temperature: 20 – 26°C; they prefer it a bit cooler.
Humidity: 60 – 75%; maintain by spraying periodically.
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, fish-food, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, kinshi, molting of invertebrates and reptiles, lichen, green moss. And 2x times a week provide a source of protein. Be sure to check out our Protein mix foods. Also don’t forget a calcium source (cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy.
