The listing is for 1x animal, of a large species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is well known for their ability to create hissing sounds when disturbed as a defence mechanism, which is made by rubbing their legs against the insides of their exoskeleton.
This is a special pedigree called "White Piña", which was selectively bred for its albino mutation. This makes them look creamy white with yellow highlights, and also makes their eyes crystal white as well.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
The isopods feed on a variety of forest materials such as decaying wood and leaf litter. Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone) and fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
