Description

Caret Down

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.

Please see shipping details for shipping cost information and live arrival guarantee.

Isopods will be shipped in a container of organic peat moss, sphagnum moss, and organic leaf litter.

A thick layer of leaf litter at all times is the key to a thriving isopod colony.

Skill level:  Beginner isopod

Humidity:  Tolerates humid and arid environments

Breeding:  Fast breeder that breeds easily
