Our Porcellio lavevis "Milkback" Isopods are sold in assorted sizes ranging from established young juveniles to adults.
This is a large isopod species and adults can reach lengths of up to 1".
Porcellio laevis isopods are very active and can be seen exploring their habit at all times of the day. Their milky white and creamy brown pattern will help bring your terrarium to life. They're a very hardy species, preferring moderate humidity with plenty of places to hide and decaying vegetation to forage on. They are very prolific under the optimum conditions and will establish their enclosure quickly. This species of isopod is one of the larger species in captivity and can reach lengths of up to 1 inch at adulthood.
Isopods prefer a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, grains, manufactured isopod diets, and other decaying woody matter such as bark, moss and leaves.
We prefer a strong moisture gradient for this species, ranging from very damp on one end of their enclosure to bone-dry on the other.
As with all of our insects, live arrival is guaranteed.
