The animals have a   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">cream to whitish basic coloration<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which forms a strong contrast to the darker areas of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The head and abdomen are brown in color<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  and are visually connected by a two-row dotted line along the body. These fine dots form a characteristic pattern on the back.  The  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Legs and antennae also appear light to white<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which makes the overall appearance of the animals very rich in contrast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The body structure is somewhat reminiscent of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Porcellio ornatus<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. The animals appear relatively round and have a smooth surface. With a size of about   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">2.3 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> they belong to the medium-sized isopod species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">In its natural environment, this species lives in <\/span><span class=\"s1\">calcareous regions<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. This is why calcium also plays an important role in keeping them. The substrate should therefore be light   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">limewashed<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  be. In addition, it is advisable to   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Limestones<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  in the terrarium. One   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Cuttlebone<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> should also always be available as a source of calcium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Another important point when keeping them is <\/span><span class=\"s1\">good ventilation of the terrarium<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. <strong>Porcellio violaceus &#8220;Rubivan&#8221;<\/strong> does not tolerate stale or musty air. Large ventilation areas ensure sufficient air exchange and stable conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The overall humidity can be <\/span><span class=\"s1\">relatively moderate at around 60-70 %.<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  be held. At the same time, a  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">slightly damp moss corner<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  be present. The animals often withdraw there, especially during moulting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The rest of the furnishings can be similar to other <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Porcellio species<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  be created. A substrate consisting of leaf humus, white rotten wood and a thick layer of leaves provides a good basis. In addition, cork bark, pieces of bark or other structures provide important hiding places.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A particular advantage of this species is its <\/span><span class=\"s1\">extreme temperature tolerance<\/span><span class=\"s2\">. Large temperature fluctuations are common in their natural environment. The animals even tolerate occasional periods of frost in winter and can cope with temperatures of up to   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">40 \u00b0C<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  to cope. Temperature fluctuations therefore do not usually play a major role for this species. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Its striking markings, robust nature and interesting origin make <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Porcellio violaceus &#8220;Rubivan&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> is an exciting isopod species for terrarium keepers looking for something special for their isopod terrarium.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White beauty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":143263,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-supplier":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1463,1480],"product_tag":[],"lce-checkout-addons":[1730],"class_list":{"0":"post-151128","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-isopods","7":"product_cat-isopods-porcellio","8":"product_shipping_class-animal-shipping","9":"pa_herkunft-spain","10":"pa_kontinent-europa","11":"lce-checkout-addons-winter-packaging","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Porcellio violaceus &quot;Rubivan&quot; - Insektenliebe<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Buy cheap Porcellio violaceus &quot;Rubivan&quot; directly online!
