Unlike Snow Whites and Milkbacks, Giant Orange Porcellio laevis do not come from the famous Dairy Cow variant of Porcellio laevis, and they are actually suspected to be a different, sister species of Porcellio laevis that haven't been labelled properly yet, we know this because they cannot interbreed with the other Porcellio laevis morphs, and when observed under a microscope, their reproductive organs are completely different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorcellio laevis likely originated in Northern Africa, but it is unclear as it was already rather widespread when the species was officially categorized, it could have actually originated in the Mediterranean or even Central Europe. Due to human travel, it quickly became a cosmopolitan species that is widespread all over the world, now found on most (if not all) landmasses around Earth. Wild type Porcellio laevis are grey, glossy and slightly smaller than captive bred ones due to their rough life in the wild, although they are still extremely prolific. They are great at cleaning up, although they are more likely to get snacked on by the animal than other morphs of Porcellio laevis (wild type, dairy cow, snow white) because of their bright, vibrant orange colour that makes them easier to see up against almost every substrate. If using as a clean-up crew (which is definitely doable) make sure to provide lots of protein for them and occasional topups if your animal you are using them for is quite large and eats lots of them, or start with a larger amount (100-200)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscovered by Pierre André Latreille, a French zoologist who is widely considered the father of modern day entomology, in 1804 he published Porcellio laevis in his massive 14-volume work on natural history \u003cem\u003eHistory Naturelle\u003c\/em\u003e, by combining the Latin genus Porcellio \"meaning little pig) with the species name laevis (meaning smooth) Latrielle perfectly captured the creatures glossy, bulky appearance that makes up the modern day captive bred isopods we have today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO IS THIS SPECIES FOR?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific \"Giant Orange\" morph is perfect for reptile keepers of isopods enthusiasts looking to create a highly visible, supercharged bioactive clean-up crew, or an eye catching, prolific variety to get started off in the realm of isopods as pets. It is amazing for those keeping larger, high waste reptiles like bearded dragons as long as there is extra protein available to avoid swarms of isopods attacking the animals (yes, sometimes they may do that if extremely protein deprived, especially when the animal has recently shed and is in a state of vulnerability) They have an extremely good metabolism, allowing them to eat masses of food at incredible rates, making them the perfect clean up crew for your larger, or even smaller animals in moderation. It is also ideal for impatient isopod hobbyists who want to see their colony boom extremely quickly, as the Giant Orange Porcellio laevis is one of - if not the most - fast breeding isopods that TerraPods offers, standing alongside Porcellionides pruinosis and a runner up being Porcellio scaber. You will have a massive population in no time, as each female is capable of producing up to 50 mancae a month under ideal conditions.

If you are a total beginner looking for a bulletproof, forgiving starter isopod that easily handles a broad range of environmental settings while offering some of the best coloration in the entire hobby, this fiery \"Lava\" line is exactly what your collection needs.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIES OVERVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCIENTIFIC NAME:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcellio scaber \"Lava\"\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN: \u003c\/strong\u003eEurope (Line-bred morph)\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIFFICULTY: \u003c\/strong\u003eBeginner\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCARE \u0026amp; ENVIRONMENT PARAMETERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTEMPERATURE RANGE: \u003c\/strong\u003e18-24°C\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHUMIDITY \u0026amp; MOISTURE: \u003c\/strong\u003e50-70% (Prefers a distinct dry zone alongside a damp moss pocket)\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIETARY NEEDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decaying matter such as leaf litter and rot wood along with a constant calcium source and a heavy emphasis on protein supplements.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"heading\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBEHAVIOUR \u0026amp; BREEDING HABITS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eACTIVITY LEVELS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly active, bold surface dweller.

If you are looking to graduate from basic starter species to something uniquely striking, slow-paced, and incredibly rewarding to successfully culture, the Crystal Pineapple isopod is the perfect choice for your next project.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 role=\"heading\"\u003eSPECIES OVERVIEW\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCIENTIFIC NAME:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eCristarmadillidium muricatum\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eSpain and the wider Mediterranean region, where they are frequently found tucked away in limestone-rich, rocky microclimates and arid scrublands.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIFFICULTY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Intermediate\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 role=\"heading\"\u003eCARE \u0026amp; ENVIRONMENT PARAMETERS:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTEMPERATURE RANGE:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e18-26°C.

Affectionately known in the hobby as the \"Sexy Isopod\" due to a playful nod to its scientific name and its incredibly striking looks, this species stands out beautifully from other Porcellionides varieties due to its distinct, high-contrast markings. Their bodies feature a beautiful base color that ranges from warm coppery-orange to soft, dusty grey, which is strikingly broken up by six dark, well-defined bands or stripes running down their segments. True to the Porcellionides genus, they are famous for their unique pruinose coating—a fine, velvety, microscopic powdery bloom on their carapaces that catches the light and softens their appearance. They possess a lean, highly streamlined body shape and are completely unable to roll into a ball. Instead, they rely on lightning-fast speed and hyper-active behavior to thrive, making them a wonderfully surface-active and highly visible addition to any habitat.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 role=\"heading\"\u003eWHO IS THIS SPECIES FOR?\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis species is an absolute dream for total beginners who want a bulletproof, zero-stress starter pet, as well as advanced collectors looking for a highly distinct, beautifully striped alternative to standard powder varieties.

They serve as an exceptional, relentlessly hard-working clean-up crew for temperate, subtropical, or Mediterranean-style bioactive terrariums, efficiently managing waste from small reptiles and amphibians.
