𖢥 Giant Orange Isopods 𖢥

Porcellio scaber sp. Orange are one of the absolute best additions to a bioactive clean-up crew...

But why you ask 🤷🏼‍♂️

🗑️ Efficient Waste Management: They are voracious detritivores, meaning they quickly consume decaying organic matter like dead leaves, rotting wood, shed reptile skin, and animal waste.

♻️ Nutrient Cycling: By breaking down waste, they turn it into nutrient-rich frass (isopod p**p), which acts as an excellent natural fertilizer for your live plants.

🫧 Soil Aeration: As they burrow through the substrate to find moisture and food, they naturally aerate the soil, preventing compaction and keeping the plant roots healthy.

🍄 Mold Control: They help keep fungal outbreaks in check by eating mold spores and fungi before they can take over a humid enclosure.

😋 Nutritious Supplemental Food Source: Their bright color and high activity levels grab the attention of dart frogs, small geckos, and other reptiles. They breed quickly enough to sustain a healthy population even with occasional predation.

🟠 High Visibility: Unlike some dwarf isopod species that stay buried 24/7, Giant Oranges are larger, bold, and highly active during the day, adding a bright pop of color and visual interest to your setup.

Available in small batches or bulk we have them here at Contact Pets 👈🏼

🥵 Tropical Marine Centre Cooling Range 🥵

With this heatwave in full effect it's super important to keep checking temperatures in your aquariums as this is extremely detrimental to livestock. During increased temperature, dissolved oxygen within the water column is significantly reduced.

Here at Contact Pets we have the full range of TMC cooling fans ready to go today!! 🌬️🧊

We have already sold a fair few so grab yours today to avoid disappointment.

Some super cool beetles have arrived in store!!

⚪ Egyptian Domino Beetles:

These beetles are nice and active, requiring a warm, dry enclosure with plenty of rocks and wood to explore. They are completely predatory, feeding on live insects and have a massive appetite.

⚫ Spiky Darkling Beetles:

These are incredibly hardy and low-maintenance. They like it pretty dry, a sand soil mix in perfect with plenty of cork bark to hide under. These are total scavengers, feeding happily on beetle jelly, dried shrimp, oats, and the occasional slice of fresh vegetable for moisture.

🟢 Coloured Tiger Beetles:

These guys are super fast little beetles. They need plenty of floor space to sprint and a deep, sandy substrate to dig into.
Again, these are purely predatory and love chasing down small crickets and roaches.

Which one would you want to keep? 👇
