Porcellio laevis Milkbacks

Porcellio laevis Milkback, a morph of P. laevis featuring predominantly gray or black coloration adorned with a distinctive white stripe along the back segment. Porcellio laevis is native to Europe and North America, recognized for its smooth dorsal surface. These medium to large-bodied isopods prefer the surface of the soil, growing to a size ranging from ½” to 3/4”. Once established in your setup, they reproduce rapidly, enhancing your collection. With a smooth-textured shell, Porcellio laevis come in various colorations or morphs, including Dairy Cow, Milkback, Orange, Whiteouts and the classic Typical (Gray).

Our isopods are fed a delectable feast of nature’s finest ingredients that include freshly harvested carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, and squash. But we don’t stop there. To ensure their optimal health and vitality, we complement their vegetable delights with a specially crafted blend of Repashy products, including Bug Burger, Morning Wood, as well as Supreme Isopods Isopod Chow.  We also provide them with bee pollen and calcium , nutrients that promote growth and enhance reproduction. As these isopods prefer meat protein, we also provide them with freeze dried fish and mealworms as an added protein source.
