Laureola spec. ‘’Ivory Spiny‘’: Exclusive terrarium highlight
Laureola spec. ‘Ivory Spiky’, an extraordinary isopod species that impresses with its spectacular, spiky structures on the back. This variant is characterised by its ivory colouring, which gives it an exquisite and elegant appearance. Ideal for terrarium enthusiasts who want a unique and visually appealing species in their collection.
The ‘Ivory Spiky’ isopods originally come from the humid regions of Vietnam. They thrive best in a terrarium equipped with a mixture of forest humus and food leaves, supplemented with cork granules, which ensure a natural and fluffy texture of the soil.
For optimum humidity regulation, you should always keep the moss in the terrarium moist and the soil should always have a tobacco-moist consistency. Regular but moderate humidification, about twice a week, helps to keep the microclimate in the terrarium stable and promotes the well-being of these fascinating creatures.
Laureola spec. ‘Ivory Spiky’ are not only a visual enrichment for every terrarium, but also play an important role as decomposers of organic material. They help to keep the terrarium clean by utilising dead plant debris and other organic waste. In addition, their exotic appearance offers exciting observation opportunities and contributes to the aesthetic enhancement of your terrarium.
The ‘Ivory Spiky’ isopods should be fed a varied diet. We recommend foods such as gammarus, parsnip, carrot and Chinese cabbage, which not only contribute to a healthy diet, but also promote the isopods’ natural behaviour and colour intensity.
