Isopod - Porcellio scaber - "Lava" Isopods - 12 count

Porcellio scaber "Lava" isopods are a striking dark morph with gradients to orange prized by reptile keepers and bioactive terrarium enthusiasts. These hardy, fast-breeding isopods thrive in moderately humid environments (60–80% humidity) and prefer temperatures between 70–80°F. They're detritivores that consume decaying plant matter, making them excellent cleanup crew members in gecko enclosures and naturalistic vivariums. Lava scabers are prolific breeders under proper conditions, establishing sustainable populations quickly. Feed supplementary vegetables like squash or leafy greens, provide cork bark or wood hides, and maintain adequate moisture with a damp substrate area. This 12-count starter colony offers enough individuals to establish a thriving population.
