The listing is for 1x animal, of a large species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that that is highly sought after for its large size and ornate, yellow markings. Older males can get particularly large with their elongated uropods.
This is a rare pedigree called "Palette", which has been selectively bred for a mutation that creates a mixture of white and yellow splotches on their bodies.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Spain. 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.
