We are beyond thrilled to officially announce a groundbreaking addition to the isopod hobby: the Porcellio scaber ‘Pink Phantom’! 😀. It’s a pink pied scaber morph with variable patches. This morph has an interesting mutation: the young isopods are almost solid white, and only later, as they approach the adult stage, do they develop their pink color! However, we noticed it takes longer to create a stable colony. But as with all Porcellio scaber isopods, this is yet another easy to keep and breed isopod, hence suitable for beginners.
