Deluxe Isopod Habitat Kit - Exo-Morphs

Description: Our Deluxe Isopod Habitat Kit includes the basic requirements for starting your own isopod colony. This kit includes a 6 quart vented storage box, 1 lb. of our custom blended isopod soil, sphagnum moss, leaf litter, a piece of cork bark, and assembly instructions which explain how to properly get things set up. This habitat kit can support approximately 250+ isopods.If you are placing isopods in a bioactive terrarium with reptiles we recommend keeping a separate colony at all times. This way you can always add more to your terrarium if your reptiles eat them all. 6 Quart Vented Storage Box:This storage box is semi-transparent and has a long rectangular proportion. The semi-transparent plastic is perfect for isopods because it allows in just the right amount of light while limiting visibility to their outside environment. Isopods prefer not to be seen, so something like clear glass is less than ideal. The long rectangular shape allows for a moisture gradient to be achieved. We recommend keeping the back end damp and allowing the front to remain mostly dry. We also added a vent at each end for proper airflow, which is important in helping prevent toxic fumes from building up inside the habitat. 1 lb. Exo-Morphs Custom Blended Isopod Soil:Our custom blended soil is composed of a variety of organic ingredients that help isopods thrive. It consists of organic leaf compost, earthworm castings, biochar, marine soil, charcoal, natural soil enhancers, and more to create a nutrient-rich soil that holds moisture and helps create a chemically and nutritionally balanced environment for your isopods to thrive. Aside from a balanced diet, we believe the health of the soil is one of the most important part of raising healthy isopods, especially considering the isopods will consume the soil too. We include enough soil to evenly cover the bottom of the habitat with a thick layer to hold moisture and provide a healthy environment for your isopods. 0.3 oz. Sphagnum Moss:Sphagnum moss is an excellent natural addition to isopod enclosures. We like to place the sphagnum moss at the back end of the habitat to help retain moisture and raise humidity levels. It is critical that isopod habitats do not completely dry out, and sphagnum moss does a great job at making sure the habitat remains damp. It also serves as a tasty treat for your isopods. 0.3 oz. Leaf Litter:Leaf litter is an essential part of every isopod habitat. Isopods love to eat leaves, and leaves serve as a great place to hide. As the leaves are consumed, they are broken down and will eventually become a part of the soil. We include a mixture of various types of organic leaves such as maple, oak, birch, and more. Cork Bark:Cork bark is widely used in reptile & insect enclosures because it's a natural decoration with many practical uses. It is a nice place for isopods to hide because it contains many crevices and they will cling to the underside as well. Cork bark will be consumed by many of the wood loving species such as Powder Oranges and Powder Whites. Cork bark does not get moldy which is especially useful in damp environments like isopod habitats.
