Orin's Calico Isopod (Porcellio scaber)

P. scaber "Orin's Calico" is a very unique calico with various shades of orange, gray, and light orange/yellow.  Scaber isopods are slower reproducing, suitable for bioactive enclosures, and they enjoy protein such as fish flakes. dried minnows, or dried shrimp.  We provide cuttlebone for calcium and in addition to the protein, we supplemental feed carrots and squash.   Care for Orin's Calico the same as other basic isopods.  Please see our blog posts and YouTube channel for basic isopod care.
