Description

Armadillidium gestroi is a stunning and sought-after isopod prized for its large size and vibrant yellow spots. Its bold appearance and active nature make it a captivating addition to any collection. With a slightly drier habitat preference and fascinating territorial behaviors, this species thrives as cleanup crew or as a visually appealing colony.

Master Culture

For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.

*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended

*This animal can only be shipped to the Contiguous US, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.

Not OEM material, doesn’t slide as easily. Feels like it will last longer.

Thought it was going to be the same quality as OEM, might last longer but definitely has a different texture. Fits well.

Very happy

This is a 3d printed part. It fits great, looks excellent, works fantastic. I bought the grey version. Work the part in carefully, take your time. The seller’s video in the description is very helpful! Great alternative to dropping $100 on a replacement. Excellent value, fast response and shipping..

Works for E46 M3
Color: Black
Great customer support, fits like it should, is a nice detail that you’ll notice if yours is broken. Looks like OE. This is my first 3D printed part, I hope it’ll last another 20 years. Has lasted almost a year so far!

Flimsy, pretty obviously 3D printed. It's noticeably blue in color, but no one in the front seats will notice. This is good as an aesthetic bandage fix, but I'll go back to sourcing an OEM piece.
