White isopods usually work where you can hardly see them: under leaves and in damp substrate. Trichorhina tomentosa can help break down organic debris and is suitable for many humid terrariums. However, this doesn\u2019t mean the terrarium will clean itself on autopilot. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As animals to observe, the tiny Isopods are less conspicuous than large, colorful species. If you\u2019re mainly interested in seeing a lively group on the surface, a separate box with larger Isopods is a better choice. For the moist soil layer, however, white Isopods are practical helpers. <\/p>\n\n
