Instead of a single solid look, this culture brings together a mix of orange, pied dalmatian, cow-patterned, white, translucent ghost, and classic wild-type grey woodlice. They feature the typical rough, bumpy carapace texture that gives the common rough woodlouse its name. They are flat-bodied, medium-sized, and cannot roll into a ball, relying instead on running or playing dead when they feel threatened.\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 mix is great for total beginners who want a tough, zero-stress pet, or for keepers who want a visually interesting display where every individual looks a bit different. They are highly active on the surface, so you will see them out moving around bark and leaves rather than staying buried in the dirt. They work perfectly as a hardy cleanup crew for temperate or semi-arid bioactive reptile setups, easily breaking down waste while adding a lot of color variety to the floor.\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\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCIENTIFIC NAME:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Porcellio scaber \"Morph Mix\"\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Native to Europe but now found worldwide, with these specific color strains developed in captivity.\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIFFICULTY:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eVery Easy \/ Beginner\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\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTEMPERATURE RANGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 18-26°C.
