Gone are the days of housing exotic isopods in takeaway tubs. Whether you’re collecting Cubaris, Merulanella, mantids, or scorpions, the right enclosure makes all the difference. A quality isopod enclosure isn’t just about display — it’s about husbandry, humidity control, and creating environments where your animals can truly thrive.
At Frogfather, our range of 3D-printed invertebrate enclosures has been designed with one goal in mind: to make your setup functional, display-worthy, and easy to maintain. From desktop cubes to full-featured vivariums with sliding doors and lighting, there’s a perfect fit for every keeper and species.
👁️ See What You’re Keeping: The Power of Display Enclosures
Many inverts — especially rare or colourful isopods — are too beautiful to be hidden away. Our Invertebrate Cube Enclosure puts your animals on full view, with:
- A clear front panel for unobstructed viewing
- Ventilation that balances airflow with humidity retention
- Ideal conditions for small colonies or adult showcase specimens
Perfect for showcasing a prized Rubber Ducky or Ember Bee isopod, these cubes look fantastic on a shelf or desk, making them both practical and decorative.
🧪 Function Meets Form: Built for Proper Husbandry
Good looks aren’t enough — your enclosure needs to support the health and behaviour of your animals. That’s why every product in our range has:
- Ventilation placed and sized for airflow without over-drying
- Humidity-retaining structure, so a single misting can last for days
- Optional built-in lighting for better visibility and plant support
- Designs that allow for gradients in moisture and temperature
- Flat surfaces for easy cleaning and layout customisation
Isopods, mantids, and scorpions all require specific conditions — and these enclosures are optimised to maintain them without constant intervention.

🌿 Control Your Climate: Misting, Humidity & Gradients
Each enclosure is designed to hold humidity efficiently. Just mist once and the structure takes care of the rest — no daily maintenance required.
Want more control? Use longer enclosures like the Tubular Terrarium to create zones:
- Wet zone for molting and breeding
- Dry zone for feeding or basking
- Ambient light with shade options
This approach mimics nature and encourages more natural behaviour, leading to healthier, more active animals.
📦 Flat-Pack or Pre-Built: Flexibility for Any Keeper
Most of our enclosures, including the 3D Printed Display Vivarium, can be ordered as:
- Flat-pack kits – easy to store, cheaper to ship, satisfying to build
- Pre-assembled units – ready to go right out of the box
You choose what fits your style, space, and schedule.
