Introducing the stunning Trachelipus trilobatus ‘Crystal’, a unique albino designer morph developed from Romanian wild-type stock that replaces the species’ natural dark pigmentation with a translucent, icy-white body and striking clear eyes. Highly sought after for its wide, flat shape that heavily resembles an ancient trilobite, this medium-to-large isopod reaches up to 24 mm in length and makes an exceptional, eye-catching display species. Despite their exotic appearance, the ‘Crystal’ line is robust and easy to care for.
Trachelipus trilobatus ‘Crystal’, isopod care
Size: adults may reach a total length of 24 mm.
Activity: night; early morning.
Terrarium: I keep them a little wetter than the Spanish Porcellio isopods. Thus, ⅓ moist at all times, with forest moss, pieces of white rotten wood and decaying leaves.
Temperature: 15 – 26°C
Humidity: 50 – 65%
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, fish-food, decaying leaves, white rotten wood, mushrooms, molting of invertebrates and reptiles. This large and secretive isopod requires protein as well, at least 2x each week. For alternative sources of protein be sure to check out our Cubaris protein boost. Also don’t forget a calcium source (calcium triple boost, cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy with successful molts.
Difficulty: easy.
Reproduction rate: moderate to prolific. This mutation might take some months more to produce the first offspring.
Growth rate: normal.
