Porcellio ornatus "south/yellow dot" is very quick to establish, especially for a larger species, and is said to recover quickly from harvesting.
This species prefers higher ventilation, and a dry area to retreat to, in addition to some damp moss for rehydrating & molting.
In a predator-free setting, (like the bins we raise & breed our isopods in) they do bolt when startled, but they're not super fast, and they spend a lot of their time on top of their cork and exploring.. they're easily handled & fairly calm once picked up.
We haven't had a chance to test much said about them yet, though (as always) we'll be adding more information as we gain more experience with them.
