The Oniscus asellus (Maple Albino) are woodlice appreciated in bioactive terrariums for their usefulness and their more “collectible” appearance. They help break down organic waste (dead leaves, decaying wood, food scraps) and contribute to keeping the substrate cleaner and more stable.
Bigger and often more visible than several other species, they are perfect if you want microfauna that is easy to observe, while still being effective as a “cleanup crew,” especially in well-established terrariums with plenty of leaf litter.

Quantity: 10
Highlights
- Good “cleanup crew”: consumes plant debris and decomposing matter
- Species more visible and interesting in display terrariums
- Likes setups rich in leaves and decaying wood
- Robust if humidity gradient is maintained
- Attractive variety (Maple Albino)
Tips & Parameters
-
Humidity: medium to high (they like a good moist area, but a drier zone is important).
- Tip: maintain a gradient (a moist zone + a drier zone).
- Temperature: around 18–26°C (tolerant; more stable breeding under constant conditions).
-
Food:
- continuous leaf litter (base)
- supplements: vegetable pieces, La Swamp woodlouse food, etc. (in small amounts)
- Calcium: always have a source available (cuttlefish bone, calcium, well-dried eggshells, etc.)
- Warning: they really appreciate decaying wood and a good layer of leaves. Avoid overfeeding (mold/mite issues) and ensure proper ventilation.
