Behavior:

Porcellio magnificus stay mixed in groups at different stages. They are a very nimble and agile species. This isopod species eats very little and is therefore not suitable as ground police but only for display purposes.

Breeding:

They have a long development period of just under a year. However, there are hardly any losses among the young animals.

Special features:

Huge white antennae that contrast beautifully with the body.

The breeding container of Porcellio magnificus needs good air circulation and a moist corner as a retreat.

Anyone who has ever seen a Porcellio magnificus will surely agree with me that this Isopod species is one of the prettiest Isopods ever.

Tip: They don’t like wet feet, so you should only keep one corner moist.
