Troglodillo sp "Sunset"

Troglodillo sp “Sunset” is a striking orange species whose vivid colouration truly stands out. Displaying warm hues of orange and yellow that blend seamlessly across the body, its colouring closely resembles the glowing tones of a sunset sky.

These isopods are captive-bred (CB).

Care Information

  • Size: Mixed sizes.
  • Diet: Rotting hardwood, leaf litter (oak, beech, maple, chestnut, Asian species), and lichen form the staple diet. Supplement regularly with calcium (cuttlefish bone, limestone, or powdered calcium carbonate), protein-rich treats (fish flakes, shrimp pellets) and vegetables (squash, carrot, zucchini, or sweet potato).
  • Temperature: 20–26 °C.
  • Humidity: 70-80%. Requires a high humidity like most Thai species. Maintain a moist/dry gradient: one side humid with moss or damp substrate, the other drier. Mist lightly or use a dropper every week to maintain stability without waterlogging.
  • Ventilation: Provide good cross-ventilation to prevent stagnation, while keeping humidity stable.
  • Substrate: Substrate minimum ~5cm deep mix, organic soil, flake soil, rotting wood, sphagnum moss, and leaf litter. Add cork bark and hardwood pieces for shelter.
  • Enclosure: 3L Braplast tub or larger. For growing colonies 5L and 11L tubs may be more suitable.

Isopods are shipped securely in ventilated tubs with damp moss for safe travel.

Note: If you are interested in larger quantities than those listed, or want any advise, please get in contact!
