Description
Porcellio scaber Isopods are one of the most popular and versatile species in the hobby, known for their durability, ease of care, and excellent waste management abilities. They have a slightly rough, textured exoskeleton and come in a variety of naturally occurring and selectively bred morphs, though the standard wild type is typically a muted grey or brown. These isopods thrive in a wide range of humidity conditions, reproduce quickly, and are highly efficient at breaking down mold, decaying matter, and leftover food in bioactive setups. Their active nature and reliability make them a great choice for both beginner and advanced keepers looking for a no-fuss cleanup crew.
