Healthy, established colonies from a breeder in the Netherlands.
Isopod information
I have separated the Porcellio scaber ‘Calico’ from my original mix colony of Porcellio scaber into their own tub, and hence a lot of what have remained (and remained a lot of them !) carry the Calico gene.
Isopod care
Origin: Widespread
Common name: rough isopod
Size: adults reach a length of 1.8 cm.
Terrarium: keep ⅓ moist with sphagnum moss and a piece of rotting white wood underneath.
Temperature: 17 – 26°C
Humidity: 50 – 60%
Activity: day; early morning; nighttime.
Diet: fruits, veggies, greens, fish-food, decaying leaves. Rotting white wood should be plenty, molting of invertebrates and reptiles. They will enjoy a slightly higher protein-based diet, at least 2x times a week. Be sure to check out our Protein mix foods. They prefer less fresh leaves. Also don’t forget a calcium source (cuttlefish bone, limestone & oyster seashell, limestone rock) to keep them healthy.
Difficulty: easy.
Reproduction rate: prolific.
