$24.99
SKU:
Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Container: Use a plastic storage tub, we use the with secure, well-ventilated lids (add cross-ventilation holes covered with mesh to prevent stagnation and reduce mold). - Medium Acrylic Box
Substrate: Add 5 to 8 cm (2 to 4 inches) of organic, pesticide-free soil, coco coir, or a mix containing peat moss, decayed wood, and leaf litter to support burrowing. - Isopod Substrate
Moisture Gradient: Do not make the entire bin wet. Keep one side damp (with moist sphagnum moss or regular misting) and let the other side stay drier. This allows the isopods to self-regulate their hydration. - We put live moss on one side, Feather, or Sphagnum.
Hides & Decor: Provide cork bark, flat pieces of wood, or botanicals for shelter. - Corkbark Works well here

Environmental Conditions

Temperature: Keep between 15°C and 25°C (ideal range is roughly 18°C–24°C).
Humidity: Maintain an ambient humidity of roughly 45%–70%, relying on the moisture gradient rather than soaking the whole enclosure. 

Diet & Nutrition

Leaf Litter & Wood: Decaying hardwood leaves (such as oak or beech) and white-rotted wood must make up the core of their diet and be replenished regularly.
Vegetables & Scraps: Supplement with small portions of fresh vegetables like squash, carrot, sweet potato, or cucumber. Remove uneaten fresh food after 1–3 days to prevent mold and fungus gnats. 
Protein: Offer occasional protein sources (such as fish flakes, dried shrimp, or a tiny bit of dry pet food) 1–2 times a week.
Calcium: A constant source of calcium—such as cuttlebone or crushed eggshells—is mandatory for proper shell and molt development.

Supplies ship within 1 to 2 business days, depending on stock, and usually arrive 1 to 3 days after dispatch.

Live animals ship on Mondays and Tuesdays only, so they are never in transit over a weekend. Order by 11am Sunday to ship that week. Orders containing a live animal ship together on the next live dispatch day.

We hold live animal orders during very hot or very cold weather and ship them once conditions are safe. We’ll let you know if your order is held.

We ship Australia-wide. Live animals cannot be shipped to the Northern Territory or Tasmania.

Read our full Shipping Policy.

Our Surry Hills store is small, so we keep in-store stock deliberately limited. Not everything online is on the shelf, so call us on (02) 7813 9640 before visiting for a specific item.

All reptiles and amphibians are sold online only, due to permit requirements.

Visit us at Shop 5, 450 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

Every live animal is checked before it leaves us and packed by an experienced keeper.

If your animal arrives dead, contact us within one hour of delivery with a photo, and we will send a replacement. You don’t pay shipping on the replacement. Photo helps us identify what caused death so we can help prevent it from happening again with your order, and others.

Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel. We can’t cover animals left at a depot, sent to an incorrect address, or reported more than an hour after delivery.

Reptiles and frogs: most states require a licence before you buy. After ordering, email your licence details to info@biotastudio.com.au or add them to your order notes. If we don’t have them, we’ll contact you by SMS or email before your order ships.

Insects, spiders and supplies: most don’t need a licence, but rules vary by state and species.

See our Reptile & Frog Licensing Guide for every state.
