Porcellio haasi “High Yellow”

Mediterranean luminosity: the yellow elegance of the Haasi Isopod

Porcellio haasi “High Yellow” is one of the most impressive color variants within the Haasi group. The animals are an intense, warm yellow that moves across the substrate like dots of light. This strong shade looks particularly elegant as it contrasts with the dark body base. It is precisely this mixture of depth and light that makes “High Yellow” one of the most attractive variants for terrarium enthusiasts. Many keepers deliberately opt for this morph because it immediately attracts attention and makes every setup look more vibrant.

The species originates from Spain. Its habitat is dry, warm and rich in stone structures. This origin can also be seen in its behavior, as Porcellio haasi is active, curious and often seen. This makes the species particularly suitable for anyone who likes to observe. The animals regularly explore their surroundings, switch between hiding places and open areas and display exciting social behavior. They appear particularly harmonious and dynamic in a group.

Porcellio haasi “High Yellow” is quite uncomplicated to keep. Although the animals prefer warm, dry areas, a small humid zone is important. This zone ensures that the animals can absorb sufficient water and shed their skin safely. The rest of the terrarium can remain much drier. This creates a structure that comes very close to the natural habitat. Good ventilation is also important because the species reacts sensitively to waterlogging.

Leaves, white rotten wood and isopod food are suitable as food. The animals also like to eat protein sources. A varied diet supports the color intensity and growth of the colony. “High Yellow” develops reliably if the climate and food are right. Young animals often show a yellowish tint early on, which intensifies with each moulting cycle.

Porcellio haasi “High Yellow” looks particularly impressive in a natural terrarium. The yellow markings glow between pieces of bark, islands of moss and wooden structures and bring a touch of Mediterranean sunshine into the tank. If you are looking for a species that is both robust and colorful, this variant is the ideal companion for bioactive terrariums.

Porcellio haasi “High Yellow” combines activity, robust posture and impressive color in a unique way. This makes the species suitable for both beginners and experienced keepers who are looking for a visually striking yet reliable Isopod.
