Description
Porcellionides pruinosus
We will provide a generous overcount for each order.
Please ensure that someone is available to be home because this species likes it on the warm side.
Very Easy to Care for.
Super Fast Breeders.
Powder-Blue Isopods, or “Powdery Blue’s, ‘Orange‘”,
are a fast growing, fast breeding isopod that will rapidly fill their enclosure with young. Keep segregated from other isopods because they will out-compete others for food because of their fast breeding. They are easy to care for and eat many different types of dried leaves, grasses and foods. They are fond of Oak Leaves, Alfalfa hay and fish flakes but will also eat many different food scraps.
They are native to the Mediterranean but can be found in various warm places around the globe. They are often found under rocks heated by Sunshine or in warm compost heaps. The range from powder blue to light orange in color and we are currently working on a white variation. They have waxy grains on their exoskeleton that makes them look like they are covered in a soft powder.
| Food | Fish flakes, alfalfa grass, dried leaves, brewers yeast and fruit and vegetable slices are happily eaten by Porcellionides Pruinosus. Sprinkle some Brewer’s yeast in a corner and mist it. The Isopods will eat that fungus. Remove any food items that mold other than the fungus from Brewer’s Yeast. |
| Temp Requirements | They like it warm. 75 to 85 degrees will keep them breeding for you. |
| Enclosure | Any container with slick sides. A glass aquarium, plastic bin or a shoe box with a lid are great containers to start with. Drill holes in any container that has a lid. Airflow is important. |
| Breeding | They will breed quickly and readily and will often breed prior to reaching full size. |
| Ease of Care | Easy |
| Substrate | Coconut Coir Bedding, Peat moss or sterilized leaf litter works well. |
| Humidity | Humid |
| Size | They get to be about a quarter in long. |
| Place of Origin | Mediterranean. |
| Identifying Characteristics | Elongated, thin body with a powdery coating in blue or orange. The blue variation is often confused with Flowery Blue Isopods. |
