Howdy everyone! I’m thinking about adding some more isopods to my collection this year, specfically I’ve been looking at Armadillidium klugii ‘Montenegro’ and perhaps an Asian sp. or two.
I’ve heard klugii need good amounts of heat, and was wondering what range they breed at. My room tends to be at a good 76-77 most days, and this seems to work for all of my isopods, will this be sufficient for them?

Also, if you’d like to recommend an isopod for me to keep I’m open to suggestion!
(I currently keep P. scaber ‘Calico’, P. ornatus, P. pruinosus, A. nasatum, A. granulatum, and P. muscorum)

@Jurdon A. klugii does well at about 75 and up so your room should be fine temp wise, though they might breed a tad slower but thats fine imo....you could put them closer to the heat source or something if you want them to be kept at higher temps.

I have a personal fondness for A. maculatum which I don't see on your list so I recommend that species with total bias :)
