Overview

Caribodillo martinicensis is a recently recategorized genus, formally known by the common name Salmon. Coming from the Isle of Martinique in the Caribbean, these are a lovely medium size pod with a more flat profile. These tend to be easy to look after, preferring slightly higher humidity and temperatures, but tend to be tolerant of changes in their conditions. Overall these are a great species for those looking for something a little different.

Salmon are the wild type of this species, sporting a lovely orange brown. They tend to darken up as they age, though colours do vary. 

  • All of our isopods are captive bred. We do not sell wild caught specimens. 
  • Some isopods, which will be clearly indicated, are bred out from personally wild caught colonies. These are self produced and will be several generations in to mitigate for any wild born nasties, but please be aware these will not be suitable for use as custodians.
  • Isopods will be provided in a mix of sizes to help with the start of your colony. These will be juveniles and adults. If you receive any babies, they do not count towards the total count bought. They’re little bonuses!
  • We understand that sometimes the travel and change of environment can cause a few isopods to bite the dust. To make up for losses, we ship with a few additional counts. 
  • Our isopods are kept on a coco coir and soil mix, with access to decaying leaves, moss and charcoal. All have been kept with ample hiding spaces to mimic their natural environments. We feed them on a varied diet of decaying wood, cuttlefish bone, fish food and specifically prepared isopod supplements.
  • All isopods are shipped out with Royal Mail, either Tracked 24 or Special Delivery by 1pm as per buyers choice.
  • Only Special Delivery 1pm has our “DOA” guarantee. If you receive an order this way with DOA that reduces you to less than your purchased amount, please contact us immediately. Tracked 24 does not have this guarantee (For more information, see the full FAQ available on our contact page).
  • Shipment dates are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
