Description
The Troglodillo sp. “Green Spot” isopod features vibrant green markings that seem to glow against the darker exoskeleton. This unusual pattern makes them one of the more visually distinctive species in the hobby.
Green Spots spend much of their time exploring above and beneath cork bark, leaf litter, and moss, and established colonies are often visible grazing throughout the enclosure. Be warned, they are escape artists and will meander right out of any enclosure if given the opportunity. If startled, they are SO FREAKIN’ FAST.
Green Spots appreciate a stable enclosure with high humidity, little disturbance, plenty of hiding places, and a healthy supply of wood rot, leaf litter, and calcium to support healthy growth.
