As with our other Porcellio scaber varieties, Porcellio scaber "orange" are curious, voracious, quick to establish-- and prolific once they are.
With shades that range from salamander-orange to tangerine, these bright & vibrant isopods stand out!
Their voracious nature makes them excellent cleaners that will readily consume detritus, waste and leftovers.
Due to this, and their fondness of protein, we don't recommend keeping them with anything they could injure, like tarantulas or mantids..
They're great cleaners for anything that would also find them a good snack though, (larger reptiles, birds.)
