Care Sheet
This is a beautiful colour morph of a common european woodlouse. The lava colouration is made of a mixture of orange and brown, a bit like a lava field! The care is the same as other Porcellio, making it a nice addition to bioactive enclosures, or a beginner isopod species.
Isopod Care:
Temperature: 20-26°c
Humidity: 50-80%
Diet: Decaying wood, leaf mulch, calcium supplement, courgette, cucumber, mushroom
Substrate: Leaf mulch, dried shitake, humus
