I'm getting these two species in the mail this week and was wondering if there's any special requirements for those two? Can they be kept like other "common" isopods available in the hobby?
Armadillidium sp. "Montenegro" and Androniscus dentiger care?

First of all, congratulation on purchasing those awesome species! I don't much on how they should be cared for, but someone who likely does is Edulio Isopods on Facebook.
Good luck with breeding these!

Wow, very cool, we were just talking about the Armadillidium sp. "Montenegro" on AB a couple weeks ago! From what I can tell they have the same care as the other Armadillidium in the hobby, but may breed slower.
Never heard about A.dentiger before, so I have no idea what their care is like, hope they do well for you, they look pretty!

Glad to hear there will be more people with A. sp. Montenegro! Hadn't heard of the other species, but that's a heck of a looker too!
A. sp. Montenegro just got to the US this year or last I think. Can't say for the other species, but I guess it's here now!

Seems that both are fairly easy to care for so I'm hoping to get a nice colony going soon!I heard the same thing. Apparently these guys are pretty much like maculatum, which seem to like semi-dry environment and breeds slower than A. nasatum or vulgareWow, very cool, we were just talking about the Armadillidium sp.

They turned out to be not as pretty as the ones i see on google, but still a nice species to have IMO! They've been here since last year. I know several people who keep this species as well as other rare european species
Considering how slow they breed it'll probably take some time. Honestly I think the current price isn't too bad. lolGlad A. sp Montenegro are growing in the hobby, now I'm just waiting for the price to go down.
Wow, that's cheap! The guy i got mine from was selling 10 for $75 (though I got mine through trade).
There was another guy who was selling 10 for $50 at one point on FB group so you might want to check isopod groups on FB
GAWD THEY ARE GORGEOUS
Wow they are beautiful, definitely #1 on my isopod wishlist!GAWD THEY ARE GORGEOUS

They'll be more readily available since several people keep this species now. I'd recommend checking FB groups
I get the FB notifications for the isopod group and classifieds and haven't noticed anyone in the US selling them.There was another guy who was selling 10 for $50 at one point on FB group so you might want to check isopod groups on FB
Well....Charles Schurman was selling them last week on "Isopods". There are several people on that group keeping montenegro so I'm sure more people will post them up for sale soon

Beautiful photos of a gorgeous species! 12 for $60 is a great price and 10 for $50 is phenomenal! Might have to start looking out more for this species, either to buy or in trade
Hey, got any pictures of the Androniscus dentiger?
