These little Isopods can easily withstand cool or hot environments. They work quickly to clean up the debris in your Vivarium or Terrarium. These Powder Blue have a softer body and are a delicious treat for bearded dragons, dart frogs, or other reptiles. 

Powder Blue isopods are normally a purplish-brown color but develop a lustrous blue sheen just prior to molting. This beautiful waxy coloring both gives them their name and catches the eye of hobbyists and predators alike. Powder Blues may be the most active of any of the isopod species. They also burrow less and like to stay on top of the substrate hiding under leaves and bark.
