The listing is for 1x animal, of a large species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is popularly kept for its wide, shield-like body shape.
This is a special bloodline originating from a population at a certain location in Crete, a Greek Island. Individuals from this distinct Greek population have ornate, golden markings on their bodies, which differs significantly from the more commonly available P. flavomarginatus in the hobby.
These are CAPTIVE BRED, with this stock originating from Greece. 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.
