Habitat
Orin's Calico is a named calico line. Keep a moisture gradient, hides, and ventilation as for a hardy Porcellio. Calico patches can look muddy when the shell is wet and dirty, so give them a drier bark seat.
Diet
Leaves, wood, calcium, light protein. Do not chase the pattern with unusual foods.
Breeding
Calico does not breed true in every baby. If you need every offspring to match, this is the wrong project. No count is filed.
A good fit
A collector line for a keeper who enjoys sorting patterns. Still an ordinary hardy bin, not a Cubaris project.
