Porcellio dilatutus 'Giant Canyon' Isopods are an excellent choice for vivariums and make a great occasional snack for poison dart frogs and other small animals. Giant Canyon isopods are much larger than Giant Orange and the other similarly sized larger species that Glass Box Tropicals offers, due to this, there are not any dart frogs that will eat the adult Giant Canyon isopods. Typically people choose this species due to the unique size that they offer, much larger than any of the other species that Glass Box Tropicals offers.
The culture that is shipped may be used to seed a tank, or begin a master culture so that you will have a steady supply.
Glass Box Tropicals offers these in an 8oz. culture that contains mainly adults and a few juveniles. The substrate that that they are shipped in (and what they are bred in) is offered for sale under Feeder Insect Supplies. For complete care information please visit our Resource Center.
The cultures are started with approximately 10-12 isopods and are guaranteed to arrive with at least 9 live isopods.
