Porcellio haasi

Origin:

OriginSpain
Temperature22-27 °C
Sizenominate 2.5 cm, giant 3.5 cm

Behavior:

Likes to hide under dead wood or moss. As soon as it gets light they run away.

Breeding:

Breeding is relatively uncomplicated. The development period lasts approx. 9 months.

Special features:

One of the few isopod species that produces a giant form that is significantly larger than the nominate form. This makes Porcellio haasi an extremely interesting breeding isopod for further mutations.

Tip: Very good ventilation is essential. Either attach a large ventilation area to the lid or keep the breeding completely without a lid. The temperature should be slightly higher than the normal room temperature and the humidity should be lower than for other isopod species. It is best to keep only a corner of the breeding container filled with plenty of leaves moist.
