Description

Milkback Isopods (Porcellio laevis "Milkback") are large, eye-catching isopods with a distinctive gray and tan body and a splash of white on their backs. Very active and easy to keep, Milkbacks are highly efficient cleaners for bioactive vivariums and can tolerate a wide range of environments. They are not picky eaters and enjoy veggie scraps, flaked fish food, dried fish and shrimp, and we always provide cuttlebone for their calcium needs.

Best for: Bioactive vivariums, humid and arid enclosures, reptile and amphibian setups, beginner isopod keepers
