Common name - Giant Titan Isopod "Orange Sunset"
Scientific name - Porcellio hoffmannseggi "Orange Sunset"
The listing is for 1x animal, of a gigantic species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that holds the record for being one of the largest isopod species available in the hobby, rivalled by Porcellio expansus and Porcellio magnificus. Older males can get particularly huge with their elongated uropods.
This is a pedigree called "Sunset", which has been selectively bred for a mutation that gives the isopods an orange colouration.
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.
