Merulanella sp. ‘Red Diablo’ care
Size: adults may reach a length of 20 mm.
Activity: both day and night active; it’s a quite active isopod.
Terrarium: needs to be escape-proof, since Merulanella isopods – especially the young and mancae can climb vertically on plastic, like most roaches. And especially the mancae can squeeze through a loose lid and escape. I keep them wetter – like the Cubaris isopods – with a layered setup of decaying leaves, moss, pieces of twigs with lichen and on top cork bark or tree bark. Check out also our premium substrate.
Temperature: 20 – 26°C; they prefer it a bit cooler.
Humidity: 60 – 75%; maintain by spraying periodically.
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, fish-food, decaying leaves, rotting white wood, kinshi, molting of invertebrates and reptiles, lichen, green moss. And 2x times a week provide a source of protein. Be sure to check out our Protein mix foods. Also don’t forget a calcium source (cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy.
Difficulty: challenging to moderate.
Reproduction rate: prolific in a well established colony.
