Porcellio Orange Isopods (Porcellio Laevis)

Porcellio Laevis Isopods are a great pet choice for beginner isopod breeders. They are easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance and a terrarium with a substrate of coco fiber, peat moss, and soil. Keep in mind, they require a higher protein diet, which can be accomplished with fish flakes or dried shrimp. However, they have been known to devour whole fish! These isopods can reproduce when they are as young as 7 months old and can breed up to 7 times during their lifetime, irrespective of the season. This makes them a unique choice compared to other isopod species.
