Size: adults may reach a length of 15 mm.

Terrarium: keep only a large corner moist with forest moss, pieces of rotting white wood and also decaying leaves. Porcellio sp. ‘Alanya’ isopods require a drier setup, but not extremely dry, like the spanish porcellios. Good air flow and adequate ventilation are also essential for this porcellio species. Check out also our premium substrate.
