Venezillo Sp. "Castle Black"

Castle Blacks have really grown on me, so have Venezillo Sp in general. Slightly shy isopod that gets decently sized id say around the same size as a Clown Isopod/Zebra (maybe a tad smaller). They like deeper substrate and more of the rotting wood, I tend to mix the soil once I a while to make it more airy as they like to burrow. I’ve yet to see a tiny tiny baby I usually catch the young juvies at the surface, I’d assume the babies also like to stay underground and hide. Keeping them around 72-74F. Mostly damp like Cubaris Rubber Ducky.

Oooooh, cool! What sort of supplemental foods do they prefer?

The same thing as most isopods. I notice they like potato slices and carrots more so than protein like dried minnows.
