Origin: China

Size: Approximately 8–12 mm in length

Difficulty (Keeping): High; requires meticulous maintenance and monitoring

Breeding Difficulty: High; breeding attempts succeed only with highly controlled parameters

Temperature: Maintain 18–26°C (65–79°F) Humidity: Aim for 80–90% relative humidity

Ventilation: Provide high ventilation to maintain air quality and prevent substrate issues

Diet: Supply a balanced diet of decomposing wood, leaf litter, vegetables, fruits, and protein (fish food). Calcium supplementation is essential

Habitat Setup: Use a moisture-retentive but airy substrate blend (coco peat, sphagnum moss, organic soil). Incorporate hides and maintain an even moisture gradient

Additional Notes: Troglodillo sp. “Vex” is admired for its bold, unusual markings. This species performs best with keepers who have extensive experience managing delicate microclimate-dependent isopods.
