Punta Cana (Armadillidium vulgare)
Armadillidium vulgare "Punta Cana" Isopod Care Guide
Armadillidium vulgare "Punta Cana" is a beautiful and unique morph of Armadillidium vulgare, known for its subtle pastel tones and distinct patterning. Like other vulgare morphs, it is hardy, beginner-friendly, and well-suited for both display colonies and bioactive enclosures.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-ventilated container with a substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Add cork bark, bark flats, and rocks for hiding and climbing. "Punta Cana" enjoys structured environments and surface activity.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 70-75°F. "Punta Cana" prefers moderate humidity (60-70%) with a clear moisture gradient—one side moist, one side drier. Good airflow will help keep the enclosure healthy.
Feeding:
Feed a base of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement regularly with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein promotes breeding and supports healthy coloration.
Behavior:
"Punta Cana" isopods are active, fast breeders, and tolerate a wide range of conditions. They are excellent for both bioactive setups and for keepers seeking a visually interesting and hardy display species.
