Description:

The Barnardillo barnardi, which is local to South Africa, is a wonderfully active species of isopod that thrives in bioactive enclosures. Known for its vibrant appearance and energetic behavior, these isopods tend to quickly start to show varying colourations, making them great isopods for learning about colour morphs.

Care Requirements:    

The Barnardillo barnardi enjoys a varied environment, so ensure you have a gradient from wet to dry, giving the isopod the choice to move between the 2 areas in the enclosure. This isopod species is perfect for creating a dynamic habitat with plenty of hiding spots, such as rocks and leaves, where they dart around and forage.

As always, keep the environment stable and above 65% humidity and this isopod will thrive. As they enjoy vegetables, ensure you provide a varied diet for your isopods.

Ideal for enthusiasts who want a more active isopod in their enclosure, the Barnardillo barnardi helps break down organic matter while adding movement and interest to your setup. It is an excellent choice for reptile owners looking for a medium-difficulty breeding species that offers both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
