⨂ Ornate Isopod "Tangerine Dream", (Porcellio pseudornatus)
Common name - Ornate Isopod "Tangerine Dream"
Scientific name - Porcellio pseudornatus "Tangerine Dream"
Care Parameters:
- Temperature: 18-26 °C
- Humidity: low-medium
- Ventilation/Airflow: medium-high
- Difficulty: medium
- SUPER RARE
The listing is for 1x animal, of a large species of isopod (rolypoly/pillbug/woodlice) that is a very active and showy species in any collection. Their yellow colour strengthens with age and size, so juveniles will have more of a faded yellow/white to begin with.
This species is also notoriously bolder and more active compared to typical isopods, making them ideal for display set-ups.
This is a pedigree called "Tangerine Dream", which is a line that has been selectively bred for a hypomelanism mutation, which makes their usual yellow skirting a crystal white, and their usual black body colour a tangerine orange.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Spain. When a group is purchased, the isopods sent will be an assorted mixture of ages and sizes, to ensure a good start to a breeding colony.
Like other giant Porcellio species, this species prefers a less moist environment compared to other isopods, with plenty of airflow as well.
The isopods feed on a variety of forest materials such as decaying wood and leaf litter. Additional supplements such as calcium (limestone/cuttlefish bone) and fish food should be offered as part of their balanced diet.
