About This Product

LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED if your temps fall within our LAG (read here). Please check your temps before ordering!

Porcellio ornatus 'Dark South' is a large, Spanish isopod that reproduces fast and grows up to 1" in length - these things are huge! Once established, their colony recovers quickly from harvesting, making them one of our favorite isopods for crested gecko bioactive setups. They like it a bit drier than most other isopod species.

Porcellio ornatus 'Dark South' Isopods make a great clean up crew in a bioactive setup or naturalistic vivarium. They are large, active, and very colorful. This species is also super fast! If you're looking to keep these isopods outside of a vivarium, we'd recommend keeping them on our Isopod Substrate, or even better using our Isopod Culturing Kit. Josh's Frogs MilliMix substrate is also a fantastic option.

In rare cases, starving isopods may attempt to consume the carapace of freshly molted invertebrates or even gnaw on small or delicate reptiles or amphibians. We strongly recommend providing supplemental food to your clean up crew in the enclosure, such as Josh's Frogs CUC Cuisine. When in doubt, using dwarf species of isopods, such as Dwarf Tropical Whites, may be a safer option.

Please read the following article on keeping and culturing isopods: HOW TO KEEP AND CULTURE ISOPODS

Was skeptical of ordering at first.

I was skeptical of ordering at first because I thought that they would for sure die in transit, but, the arrived healthy and alive! Would definitely recommend.
