Genus/Species:
Porcellio Magnificus
Description:
You will receive 10 young juvenile isopods from an established colony.
This isopod species is arguably the largest of the spanish isopods, maxing out around 2 inches. These are originally from southern Spain. Slow to grow and takes sometime to breed, but will have large brood. These are not often available for sale and only a few groups are typically available each season from most breeders.
Ventillation:
As with most European species, good ventilation is a must.The enclosure cover is cut-up, covered with wire mesh to prevent outsiders fromentering your colony. You can also cut-up the top-side of the encolusure ifthis is what works for your set-up.
Humidity:
Provide a couple of moist spots, the rest is bone-dry. With that said, please keep in mind that they must always have a moist corner to retreat to; all isopods are crustaceans after all :)
Food:
Green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, swiss chard, squash,zucchini, and some fruits occassionally - I only feed them the organic kind.Provide protein and source of calcium also. Cuttlefish bone and leaf litter is a must.
Additional Care Tips:
Needs a larger enclosure as they get bigger size, plusprovide more food.

1.5 to 2 inches male adult size, includes uropods(tails) and antennae.
