Ghost Isopod 10pk
Woodlice are an excellent addition to any bio-active tank, aiding in the process of cleaning waste. Woodlice are bio-active custodians which feed off the waste created by your reptile pet and its food. Dwarf Woodlice are small and fast and so generally remain uneaten by your pet and will readily breed to keep your bio-active environment clean.
They eat any type of organic material and in the right bio-active set-up, they will breed prolifically and provide an ongoing food source as well as serving as part of the clean-up gang to consume waste and recycle nutrients.
Porcellio scaber ‘Ghost’ Isopods are a unique colour morph of the common rough woodlouse, Porcellio scaber. These isopods have a striking white or pale grey exoskeleton, which contributes to their ghostly appearance. This colour morph is a result of a genetic mutation that affects the production of pigment in their exoskeleton. Despite their unique appearance, ‘Ghost’ Isopods have the same care requirements as their common counterparts.
They thrive in a humid environment with consistent moisture levels, ample hiding spots, and a diet rich in decaying plant matter. ‘Ghost’ Isopods are popular among hobbyists for their unusual appearance and ease of care. They are often kept in terrariums or vivariums alongside other species of isopods and insects. Their ghostly appearance brings a unique and captivating element to any collection of invertebrates.
