Description

The Isopoda sp. ‘Shiny Gator’ is a rare and striking isopod, admired for its glossy, armoured appearance and bold patterning that resembles the scales of an alligator. With their metallic sheen and distinctive body structure, these isopods are quickly gaining popularity among collectors.

They thrive in warm, humid enclosures with a deep, nutrient-rich substrate, strong ventilation, and a steady supply of leaf litter and decaying wood. Colonies establish steadily but tend to reproduce at a slower pace than beginner species, making patience key to long-term success.

With their unusual “gator-like” pattern and glossy exoskeleton, the ‘Shiny Gator’ Isopoda is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced hobbyists looking for a standout display species.
