Porcellio laevis
Porcellio Laevis Orange
An orange Porcellio laevis, priced per animal.
$2 per isopod
No set pack size. A new colony usually does better with several animals than with one.
Open a label for the note on this listing. Brood counts are not taken from a census of these bins.
Habitat
This is orange Porcellio laevis. Same large, fast animal as Dairy Cow: deep litter, cork flats, one damp end, and enough ventilation that a big colony does not steam. Orange is the line, not a different climate.
Diet
Leaves, calcium, and regular small protein. Offer what they finish. A hungry orange laevis group will still eat leaves, but they do better with the extra.
Breeding
Laevis breed readily in a roomy bin. Orange young can look pale at first. No exact brood size is logged.
A good fit
Dairy Cow behavior in orange. A capable first large isopod if you can keep a bin from going stale.
