Shiny Gators - 6ct
These Isopoda sp. "Shiny Gators" are cute and also smaller than your traditional pods, i.e. these are a dwarf species. Here at BCO Mushi, these were the first exotic isopods we purchased. Remember... while they are adorable, they are adorable in size, i.e. small, though our adults seem to get pretty sizeable for a dwarf species. Care for them is pretty easy for an exotic species. Check out our youtube video on these:
