Included: 12-15 mixed size Porcellionides pruinosus, the powder orange isopod. Soft, velvety exoskeletons and flashy, quick, bold behaviour make this a very engaging isopod for many purposes.
Available year round unless the weather is below -20. This kit ships on Mondays: in order to be in time for shipping the following Monday, your order must be placed by the previous Wednesday at noon.
The isopods come housed in a shipping container and will need to be rehoused in 1-2 weeks. Additional substrate and housing not included.
P pruinosus is not very good for handling, so these are not great if you are wanting to interact with them. They do, however, make a great addition to almost any terrarium: being extremely hardy, with a wide diet. They are a medium sized isopod, growing to about 1 CM in length.
Isopods cannot be released outdoors.
Isopods can be ordered year-round.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
We have an "arrive alive" guarantee but we cannot guarantee the well-being of the animals past shipping: once they are in your hands, you must be prepared to care for them. Remember: you are dealing with living animals who will be reliant on you. Nature is not perfect; in the wild, survival rates would naturally be very low in arthropods. In captivity, you should expect a much higher rate of 70%-90% survival. Please incorporate these statistics into your lesson plan, and never assign a single isopod to a single participant, as some of them will not make it. It is always ideal to observe invertebrates as a population.
By agreeing to do business with us you hereby agree to abide by all terms and conditions as presented by Butterfly Wings N' Wishes Ltd: http://www.butterflyab.ca/terms---conditions.html
SHIPPING: Please review your invoice carefully to ensure there are no mistakes in the information we have been given for you. Ensure your order has been translated correctly. Butterfly Wings N' Wishes is not responsible for shipment delay or failure due to incorrect information on the invoice. If an order is delivered to an incorrect location or is returned to us due to these issues, we may charge an adjustment fee in event that your parcel's delivery must be corrected.
Incomplete orders (missing phone numbers, missing physical address, etc) will be cancelled and refunded. PO boxes are not valid addresses.
If you want separate shipping dates you must place separate orders: this is to account for the separate shipping fees that are required. Otherwise, we will default you to a single shipment, though we may follow-up if it is not best for the animals.
