Powder Blue Isopods – Bioactive Clean-Up Crew for Terrariums & Vivariums

Powder Blue Isopods are a popular clean-up crew species for bioactive terrariums, vivariums and naturalistic enclosures. They help break down organic matter such as leaf litter, waste and leftover food, supporting a cleaner and more balanced enclosure environment.

They are commonly used in bioactive setups for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Powder Blue Isopods are active, hardy and useful for keepers who want to maintain a healthier micro-environment inside the enclosure.

Key Benefits

• Suitable for bioactive terrariums and vivariums
• Helps break down organic waste and leftover food
• Supports a cleaner naturalistic enclosure
• Works well with leaf litter, moss and suitable substrate
• Useful as part of a bioactive clean-up crew

Care Tips

Powder Blue Isopods do best in a suitable setup with moisture, ventilation, hiding areas, leaf litter and access to food sources. Keep part of the enclosure humid while allowing some ventilation to prevent overly wet conditions.

They are not a replacement for regular enclosure maintenance, but they can help support the natural breakdown process inside a bioactive habitat.

Suitable For

Powder Blue Isopods are commonly used in:

• Bioactive reptile enclosures
• Amphibian habitats
• Tropical terrariums
