Shiny Gators

Shiny Gator Isopods (Isopoda sp.) Shiny Gator Isopods are a medium-sized dwarf species originating from Thailand, known for their raised nub-like spikes and dark coloration with dark-tipped antennae. These isopods are active and unafraid to move freely, though they will roll up when disturbed. With a moderate reproduction rate, they require specific care and are better suited as pets rather than for bioactive setups.
