Common Name: Dairy Cow Isopod
Scientific Name : Porcellio laevis
Size : Medium/large x 10
Status: Captive bred
Food : Leaf litter, rotten wood, fruit & veg (scavengers - will eat organic waste)
These woodlice are a beautiful coloured morph of the popular Porcellio laevis. They do very well in warm humid tanks, vivariums and enclosures and can multiply quite rapidly to become super cleaners in your bio-active set-up. Adult size approx. 1cm.
How I keep mine
I keep my Isopods in a plastic box with peat/coir on the base and a layer of leaf litter, plus rotten wood on top. I add the occasional small piece of fruit & veg. The box should be kept moist. They are housed in my warm bug room but I do not use a heat mat for them.
