Description

Armadillidium gestroi is a stunning and sought-after isopod prized for its large size and vibrant yellow spots. Its bold appearance and active nature make it a captivating addition to any collection. With a slightly drier habitat preference and fascinating territorial behaviors, this species thrives as cleanup crew or as a visually appealing colony.

Master Culture

For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.

*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended

*This animal can only be shipped to the Contiguous US, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.

Great Book!
Format: Kindle
This book is awesome! I used it as a part of my reading lesson plan for preschool-age children. While I did not teach the lesson, my professor was impressed with the quality of resources I utilized in my lesson planning assignments, which includes this book! I enjoyed the colors, simple words, and finding the rabbit throughout the pages of this book!

I'm sure it is a wonderful book
Format: Board book
I bought this book for my nephew. I'm sure it is an absolutely lovely book with a great message, but I have not had the pleasure of reading it myself yet. And since my sister in law is an ingrate and never writes thank you notes or calls to say, "hey, thanks for sending my kid a gift!", I really have no idea. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Excellent for the preschooler
Simple, straight-forward and a great follow along book for the preschool, pre-reader. We enjoyed the simple story and the more complex drawings but also the layout makes it easy for our little guy to identify particular words as we read.
