Porcellio Scaber “Lava”

Our Porcellio scaber ‘Lava’ Isopods are the perfect addition to any terrarium setup. With their distinctive reddish-brown coloration reminiscent of volcanic landscapes, these hardworking isopods not only add visual intrigue but also serve as efficient cleaners, aiding in maintaining a healthy terrarium environment. Renowned for their resilience and adaptability, these isopods thrive in diverse conditions, making them suitable companions for a variety of habitats.  Their hard, calcified exoskeleton provides a great source of calcium for your larger reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, but not poison dart frogs due to their propensity for eating meat protein.

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.
