Description

Large Gray Isopods (Porcellio laevis) are active, easy-to-keep isopods that make an excellent addition to any bioactive clean-up crew. They are also a great alternative to Giant Canyon Isopods, which are not permitted in some states. Large Grays reproduce quickly, tolerate a wide range of environments, and are not picky eaters. Note: they do not get as large as Milkback or Dairy Cow isopods. We provide all Laevis with cuttlebone for calcium and supplemental feed them carrots, zucchini, squash, dried fish and shrimp, and fish food flakes.

Best for: Bioactive vivariums, reptile and amphibian enclosures, Giant Canyon isopod alternative, beginner isopod keepers
