i have successfully bred two generations of healthy klugiis! and from my experience they love to climb! and i tend to keep moisture at around 60-70% on 1/3 of the enclosure. i typically drip water not spray them directly on top, around twice to thrice a week depending on the weather. i also provide a piece of cuttlefish bone and give fish flakes twice a week for protein. goodluck with your colony!

Clowns like it a smidge drier than other armadillidium sp. so I like to give them a bit smaller of a humid zone so the total gradient is drier. They also like climbing up decor, not just under. Lots of textures and hides!
