Terrarium: needs to be escape-proof, since Ardentiella isopods – especially the young and mancae – can climb vertically on plastic, like most roaches do. 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.

Humidity: 60 – 75%; maintain by spraying periodically.
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, forest moss, lichen, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, kinshi, molting of invertebrates and reptiles. And some protein, like gammarus shrimps. Also don’t forget a calcium source (cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy.
