One of the best beginner isopods available.  P. pruinosus "Orange" or "Powder Orange" are an excellent cleaner for vivariums and they are very docile.  P. pruinosus are a medium-sized fast isopod. They reproduce quickly, and they have softer bodies, which make them an ideal feeder.  Pruinosus can tolerate a wide range of environments including semi-arid enclosures.  They enjoy a lot of leaves, cuttlebone or a calcium source, fish flake, dried shrimp/fish, carrots, and squash.  Please see our blog and YouTube channel for care guides and tips.
