Snake Skin – Natural Protein-Rich Food for Isopods
 
Shed snake skin is an excellent, natural food source for isopods. Made primarily of keratin, it provides a slow-releasing source of protein and nutrients that support healthy growth, moulting, and overall colony vitality. As a tough, fibrous material, it breaks down slowly, making it perfect for long-term feeding in isopod enclosures.
 
In addition to keratin, snake skin contains trace minerals like calcium and nitrogen, essential for exoskeleton development. As it decomposes, it becomes even more accessible to isopods, thanks to the microbial and fungal growth that softens the material and adds extra nutritional value.
Snake skin doesn’t spoil quickly, making it ideal for bioactive setups. It supports a clean, self-sustaining environment while mimicking natural scavenging behaviour found in the wild. 
 
Add it to your isopod habitat as a unique protein supplement that they’ll appreciate over time!
