Dalmatian Isopods (Porcellio scaber)

—INVENTORY PENDING—

Porcellio scaber is a very common type of isopod native to central and western Europe, but also invasive in other parts of the world. The “Dalmatian” morph can be identified by its pattern with a white base and darker orange or gray blotches. The exoskeleton is hard and durable.

As part of a bioactive terrarium, P. scaber contributes by breaking down food waste, feces, and rotting foliage. They also make good feeders for smaller reptiles and amphibians!

Each 12oz deli container comes with 10-12 isopods.
