Their signature “hissing” sound is produced by their legs rubbing against the inside of the exoskeleton when they’re curled up in a ball. This larger, hard-bodied species thrives in semi-arid to temperate conditions and is excellent for keepers seeking something interactive and visually striking. Hardy and eye-catching, ‘Orange Crush’ is a rewarding species for intermediate keepers!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaster Culture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.
