Helleria brevicornis

Helleria brevicornis isopods for sale!

These are the largest terrestrial rolling isopod in the hobby.  They are said to only breed once in their lifetime, but some breeders claim they haven't found that to be true by mimicking a cold spell like they have in the wild and when it gets warm again, it tells them they need to breed again.  To be sure that they will produce for you since they are capable of breeding at a very young age, you will receive small juveniles.

They need a deep, high quality substrate that is 6+ inches deep.  Keep it moist.  These are sort of like owning a jar of dirt, but will occasionally surface once their population grows.  You will wonder if you have anything, but if you go for a little dig, you will find more than you think you have.
