Skeleton Isopod "Lemonade", (Porcellio bolivari)

Common name - Skeleton Isopod "Lemonade"
Scientific name - Porcellio bolivari "Lemonade"

The listing is for 1x animal, of a large species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is highly sought after for their skeleton-like appearance and elegant shape. Older males can get particularly large with their elongated uropods. 

This is a pedigree called "Lemonade", which has been selectively bred for a hypomelanism mutation (reduced pigmentation) that gives the isopods a lighter, lemonade-like colouration that is contrasted with strong yellow highlights that run down their backs.

These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Spain, Europe. 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.

Like other giant Porcellio species, this species prefers a less moist environment compared to other isopods, with plenty of airflow as well.

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.
