Description

Porcellio laevis ‘White’ is known for being a larger, aggressive isopod that can outcompete other species in feeding and territory. They are excellent display isopods due to their diurnal activity and striking white appearance. This morph is highly adaptable and hardy but may bully juveniles or smaller species in bioactive setups, so careful pairing is recommended.

Master Culture

For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.

*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended.

*This animal can only be shipped to the US Contiguous, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.

Heavy duty
I bought these to modify a safe. Very durable I had to cut down a corner and a sawszall had trouble getting through. On top of that they hold a lot of weight without buckling. Buy it.
